Is it obligatory to repeat the prayer if the salutation (taslim) was made with the intention of قطع (ending the prayer) due to a woman passing in front of the worshipper during Fajr prayer, knowing that the passing of a woman does not invalidate the prayer according to the majority of scholars?

As long as you exited the prayer intending to cut it short, it has become invalid. Therefore, you must repeat it. The passing of a woman in front of a worshiper does not invalidate or break his prayer, according to the majority of scholars.
