1-What is the ruling on a menstruating woman passing in front of a praying person in the Haram?
Passing in front of a praying person is forbidden, but scholars have made an exception for the mataf (circumambulation area) in Mecca due to necessity and hardship. They cite as evidence the of al-Muttalib, that the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, used to pray opposite the Black Stone while people passed in front of him, and that Ibn al-Zubayr would wait for a woman to pass in front of him during . Tawus was of the opinion that Mecca has a special status due to the large number of people and their crowding to perform the rituals. This is what Ibn Taymiyyah, al-Tahawi, and al-Kharashi mentioned, confirming that this ruling is specific to Mecca, and applies equally to men and women, with the prohibition of a menstruating woman from staying in the mosque.
