Does passing in front of a woman break her prayer?

The questioner : The woman has specific circumstances in prayer, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said , and this necessitates that women differ in prayer. The fact that women come late, and the placement of women being always in the last rows and behind the men, with the boys in front of them, this calls for more movement. Is this one aspect?

The Shaykh : What kind of movement?

The questioner : I mean, the movement of passing in front of women increases because they are in the last rows praying. This is one point. The other is that the ruling perhaps has a rationale in making a woman break the men's prayer, because a woman, by her nature, attracts attention and something of that sort. So a woman in front of a woman attracts less attention, and Allah knows best.

The Shaykh : You are right, and Allah knows best. But if we were to ask a questioner, .

The questioner: Yes.

The Shaykh : What is the evidence?

The questioner : The hadith.

The Shaykh : So if we return to the hadith, and I also have something in my mind: is this hadith that you mentioned a general principle from which we derive the difference in rulings between women and men, or is this a specific ruling for women, specific to this issue only, and we do not go beyond it except by explicit text?

The questioner : It is derived from the general principle.

The Shaykh : Excuse me, you did not answer me. You said "it is derived," which is correct... but I did not receive the answer.
