Question:
If a woman passes in front of me while I am praying in the Haram, does it break my prayer?
Answer:
It does not break your prayer, because the Haram is crowded with people and they cannot be controlled. The Haram is an exception; in places of severe crowding, passing through does not cause harm. If people need to pass through, it does not cause harm, because this religion is a religion of ease.[Al-Hajj 22:78] People are hesitant about this matter, and they need to pass through, so this does not cause harm, if Allah wills. Yes.
