The questioner : Taha: Is it very difficult to pray the two rak'ahs behind the Maqam during the days of heavy crowds, especially in Ramadan or during the days of Hajj?
The Shaykh : The scholars say: Being close to the Maqam is not a condition, even if you are at the far end of the mosque, and even if it is not possible for you to have the Ka'bah between you and the other direction.
The questioner : If a woman passes by, and women often pass in front of...?
The Shaykh : We see now, in the midst of the crowd, that it is impossible to get close to the Maqam at all. Women must pass by him, and in reality, he is the one who erred by praying in this place, which is now a place for tawaf.
The questioner : Does it interrupt his prayer?
The Shaykh : Yes, it interrupts his prayer. He should move to another place.
