Q: What is the ruling on passing in front of a person praying in the Haram, and is it permissible for the person praying to prevent someone from passing in front of him?
A: There is no harm in that, and it is not permissible for one in the Haram — I mean the Sacred Mosque — to prevent someone from passing in front of him, due to the reports (athar) indicating that the righteous predecessors (Salaf) did not prevent people from passing in front of them in the Sacred Mosque, whether they were circumambulating or otherwise. Among them was Ibn al-Zubayr (may Allah be pleased with him and his father). Also, the Sacred Mosque is a place where crowding is expected and it is difficult to prevent people from passing in front of the person praying, so it is obligatory to facilitate matters in this regard.
