Question:
What is the ruling on one who is praying and a woman passes in front of him? Does it break the prayer and require him to repeat it, even if it is in al-Masjid al-Haram due to the crowd?
Answer:
In al-Masjid al-Haram, out of necessity, the prayer is not broken, neither for the woman nor the man, if she passes, because this is a necessity due to the crowd and the large number of people. As for in other than al-Masjid al-Haram, a person should place a sutrah (barrier) in front of him such that if he sees it, nothing comes from behind it; he does not cross it, but goes around behind it. As for if you do not place a sutrah in front of you, then you are the one who is at fault.
