Question:
He says: What is the degree of authenticity of the hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): "If three people pass in front of the one praying, his prayer is invalidated"?
Answer:
The hadith is authentic, but the scholars differed on whether the invalidation is a true invalidation, requiring the prayer to be repeated, or whether it means the loss of reward while the prayer remains valid? There are two opinions. The majority hold that it is an invalidation of the reward, not of the reality of the prayer, so the prayer is not repeated. This is the opinion of the majority of scholars. Some hold that the text should be taken at its apparent meaning and that the prayer must be repeated. Yes.
