A woman passing to the right or left of a man while he is praying

Ibn Sirin says that Sayyiduna Abu Sa'id al-Khudri (may Allah be pleased with him) would be praying while a woman passed by him on his right and his left, and he saw no harm in it. And it was the habit of Ibn Sirin that if a woman came and stood alongside him, he would say tasbih (Subhan Allah) to move her away.

Mughirah says that Ibrahim saw no harm in a woman passing on the right or left side of a man while he is praying.

Hajjaj says: I asked Ata about this, and he gave the verdict that there is no harm in it, while the man who had asked Ibrahim told me that he considered it disliked.

Sayyidah Maymunah (may Allah be pleased with her) says that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would be praying while I was alongside him, and sometimes his garment would even touch me when he prostrated. He (peace and blessings be upon him) used to pray on a small mat woven from palm fibre (khumrah).

Mus'ab bin Sa'd says: Facing the qiblah of Sayyiduna Sa'd (may Allah be pleased with him) there was a chest, and the maidservant would come from his right and his left to take what she needed, and that did not break his prayer.

Uthman bin Ghiyath says: I asked al-Hasan: If a man is praying and a woman passes beside him, what is the ruling? He said: There is no harm, as long as she does not pass in front of him.

Ibn Sirin considered it disliked for a woman to stand alongside a man in prayer.
