The question

What is the remedy in the Sacred Mosque during the days of Hajj, according to the Madhhab of Abu Hanifa, if a man's prayer becomes invalidated due to being alongside a woman or her being in front of him without a barrier, when they are both praying behind a single imam and the imam intends for her to be led by him?

The answer

The Hanafī jurists stipulated that there is no difference between performing the prayer in the Sacred Mosque (Haram) and elsewhere regarding what the questioner mentioned – namely, the invalidation of the prayer. However, the preponderant view among the majority of scholars is that the prayer is not invalidated, and that intentionally doing so is disliked (makrooh); because invalidating the prayer involves great hardship and enjoining what is beyond one's capability.
