The ruling on a woman passing in front of a praying man
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The second question asks about a girl passing in front of a praying man: does she invalidate the prayer?
Answer:
If a woman passes in front of a praying man, meaning she is close to him, there is scholarly disagreement on this issue. He should not let her pass; rather, he must prevent her from doing so and pray facing a barrier (sutrah) so that no one, whether a woman or otherwise, passes between him and it. He should strive to do this. Yes.
