Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. It often happens in the Sacred Mosque that a woman passes in front of a man who is praying. What should he do in the situation described? Does he break his prayer or continue?

Answer:
In the Sacred Mosque, what is not excused elsewhere is excused; the intensity of the crowd, the necessity of the people, and the narrower the situation becomes, the wider it becomes, praise be to Allah. And hardship brings ease. Yes.
