Question:
Does the prayer of the ma'mum (one praying behind the imam) become invalid if someone passes in front of him?

Answer:
No, it does not become invalid. The imam's sutrah (barrier) serves as a sutrah for him. If something passes in front of the ma'mum, his prayer does not become invalid. The donkey on which Ibn 'Abbas was riding passed in front of the ma'mums, and it did not harm them. The imam's sutrah is a sutrah for them.
