Men Standing Behind the Rows of Women in the Sacred Mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: He has noticed that some men in al-Masjid al-Haram line up behind the rows of women in an obligatory prayer. Is their prayer accepted?

Answer:
In al-Masjid al-Haram and crowded mosques, there is leniency regarding the closeness of the men's rows to the women's rows, or men being behind women, or the like, if the place is crowded. If it is crowded, there is leniency in this. Yes.
