Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on passing in front of a person praying in the Sacred Mosque?
Answer:
Those who are praying behind the imam have the imam as their barrier. There is no objection. The follower’s barrier is his imam’s barrier, so there is nothing wrong with passing in front, especially in the Sacred Mosque where there is a crowd and people need to pass. You cannot stop them. Once you have finished your prayer, let them pass and pray. Do not stop anyone. Yes.
