The ruling on passing in front of the one praying and preventing him

The questioner:
The questioner says: What is the ruling on the one who passed in front of me while I was praying, and I prevented him from passing, but he passed by force?

The Shaykh:
What is the ruling.

The questioner:
The one who passed in front of me while I was praying, and I prevented him from passing, but he passed by force.

The Shaykh:
While I was praying.

The questioner:
Yes, and I prevented him from passing in front of me, but he passed by force.

The Shaykh:
If he passed by force, the sin is upon him. But if you let him pass, and you have no sutrah (barrier) in front of you, or you have a sutrah and he passed between you and the sutrah and overpowered you and passed, the sin is upon him. If the one passing in front of the one praying knew what is upon him, he would stop. If he passes, you prevent him. If you are unable to prevent him, the sin is upon him. If you let him pass, the sin is upon both of you, upon the passer and upon the one praying. And we know that the sutrah is for the imam and the one praying alone, for the imam and the one praying alone.
As for the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam), the sutrah of his imam is sufficient for him. The one who passes in front of the rows behind the imam for a need, there is no harm. This is not of the forbidden passing. It is the imam and the one praying alone for whom it is not permissible to pass in front of him. And this is also in places that are not crowded. Crowded places like the large mosques, the Sacred Mosque, and the Prophet's Mosque. In crowded places, people need to pass, so passing for the sake of necessity does not harm. Yes.
