If a woman passes to the right or left of a praying person, what should he do?

Hazrat Ibn Sirin states that Hazrat Abu Sa'id Khudri would be performing prayer, and if a woman passed in front of him, he did not consider it objectionable. And it was the habit of Hazrat Ibn Sirin that if a woman came and stood next to him, he would recite tasbih to make her move away.

Hazrat Mughira narrates that Ibrahim did not consider it objectionable if a woman passed by on the right or left side of a man while he was praying.

Hazrat Hajjaj says that I asked Hazrat Ata about this matter, and he gave the verdict that there is no harm in it, whereas the person who asked Ibrahim reported that he considered it undesirable.

Hazrat Maymunah says that the Holy Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to be praying and I would be beside him, and sometimes even his garment would touch me during prostration. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray on a mat made of palm bark.

Hazrat Mus'ab bin Sa'd narrates that Hazrat Sa'd had a shelf towards the direction of the Qiblah. The maidservant used to come from his right and left sides to take things she needed, but he would not break his prayer.

Hazrat Usman bin Ghiyas narrates that I asked Hasan, "If a man is praying and a woman passes by him, what is the ruling?" He replied, "If she does not pass in front of him, then there is no harm."

Hazrat Ibn Sirin considered it undesirable for a woman to stand with a man in prayer.
