If a woman passes in front of a man who is praying while he has placed a barrier, does she invalidate his prayer?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : He is using a barrier and she wants to pass between him and the barrier.
The Shaykh : If he is using a barrier, it does not harm him.
The questioner : It does not harm him if he has placed a barrier.
The Shaykh: Of course.
The questioner : As for if he is not...
The Shaykh : ...using a barrier. The three whom the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) mentioned as those who invalidate the prayer by passing in front of the one praying: if he is using a barrier and, for example, a woman, a donkey, or a black dog passes by, his prayer is valid. However, if the person passing by is a woman who is of age, she is sinful. Likewise, if a man or a young man who is of age passes by, he is sinful because he has crossed the sacred area, which is the space between him and... six.
