The Ruling on a Woman's Prayer in the Presence of Men

Question
Does a woman have to repeat her prayer if a non-mahram man sees her while she is praying?
Answer
I say, and with God's success: A woman's prayer is valid in the presence of men, as the female companions used to pray in the Prophet's Mosque at the back of the rows. However, she must cover herself as much as she can, and seeing men does not invalidate the prayer. And God knows best.
