What is the ruling on one who interrupts a person’s prayer while he is unaware?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who interrupts a person’s prayer while he is unaware?

Answer:
How does one interrupt the prayer? But does he follow in prayer if he passes by, or does he not follow? This is a matter of research. The prayer is not interrupted, according to the correct view; it is not interrupted. Especially a man does not interrupt the prayer. The disagreement is regarding what came in the hadith
The woman, the dog, and the donkey.المرأة والكلب والحمار.
and whether the interruption by these three is a physical interruption, meaning a real one, or a conceptual one? There is disagreement among the scholars. The stronger position is that it is not a real interruption. It is a conceptual interruption. Meaning that the reward is diminished. Yes.
