ANSWER:

No, this does not break the prayer because the Imam is the sutra for the entire congregation.

QUESTION: We (ladies) were praying Taraweeh in the masjid behind the imam. During prayer, a woman returned after wudu and crossed in front of us to rejoin the row despite being stopped. Does this invalidate our prayer? Do I need to repeat the prayer and witr as well? It’s been few days since it happened. If yes, Do I need to perform now?
