A Woman Passing in Front of a Praying Person in al-Masjid al-Haram

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sixth question from the questioner: I prayed in congregation in the Sacred Mosque during the rush hour, and a woman passed in front of me and placed her foot in the place of my prostration. What is the ruling on my prayer?

Answer:
The passing of women in the Sacred Mosque and others does not invalidate the prayer. This is the position of the majority of scholars, because it is a place of crowding where one is unable to control the situation.
