Question:
The questioner asks: Does a woman passing in front of a man break his prayer while he is praying behind the imam?
Answer:
No, the imam's sutrah serves as the sutrah for the ma'mum. So if a woman passes in front of the ma'mum, this does not affect his prayer. This is evidenced by the fact that 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him) was young and was riding a donkey, meaning a female donkey, while the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was praying for his companions in Mina. 'Abdullah ibn 'Abbas came riding the female donkey from in front of the row, and the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) did not rebuke him. This indicates that the imam's sutrah is the sutrah for the ma'mum.
