A woman
invalidating a woman’s prayer

Question #7: “The woman who has reached puberty invalidates
the prayer by her passing in front of the one praying, so
does she invalidate the prayer of a woman?”
Shaykh al-Albānī answers:
“Yes, the woman invalidates the prayer of another woman (if
she passes in front of her), with the condition mentioned in
some established narrations: if she has reached puberty. And
there is no difference in Islamically legislated rulings
between men and women, except that which came in text
excluding women from the men; and there is no (such) text
here. Rather the text is general: the woman (who has reached
puberty), the donkey and the black dog invalidate the prayer
of one of you when they pass in front of him, if there isn’t
something like the rear part of a camel saddle in front of
him.[1] So there is no difference in the ruling.”
