Is there any problem with men praying next to women in the Haram around the Kaaba?

The Hanafis are of the opinion that a man's prayer becomes invalid if a woman who is desirable prays alongside him, parallel to him, or in front of him, without a barrier. The majority of scholars, however, hold that the prayer does not become invalid in this situation, but that intentionally doing so is reprehensible. The most preponderant opinion is that of the majority, due to the presence of Quranic verses such as, "And [Allah] has not placed upon you in the religion any difficulty" and "Allah does not burden a soul beyond its capacity," and because the other opinion entails great difficulty.
