Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : The woman is said to interrupt the prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, exactly.
The questioner : So, does a woman interrupt a woman's prayer?
The Shaykh : This question has come to us repeatedly in the recent past, and the answer is the same: Yes, a woman interrupts a woman's prayer, provided the condition mentioned in some of the established narrations is met, namely that she is mature. There is no difference in the rulings of the Shari'ah between men and women except where an explicit text excludes women from men. Here, there is no such text; rather, the text is comprehensive. Therefore, there is no difference in the ruling. Please proceed.

The prayer of one of you is interrupted if a woman, a donkey, or a black dog passes in front of him, provided there is not in front of him something like the rear of a saddle.
يقطع صلاة أحدكم إذا مر بين يديه المرأة والحمار والكلب الأسود إذا لم يكن بين يديه مثل مؤخرة الرحل
