Question
Is there a prohibition against passing in front of someone who is saying Kaddish?
Answer
The Barchei Yosef wrote that one should not pass in front of someone saying Kaddish, and it seems this applies until the words "be said in the world" (this rule is not mentioned in the Mishnah Berurah).

Barchei Yosef, Orach Chaim, Siman 55, Se'if Katan 9, mentioned in Shaarei Teshuva, Siman 56, Se'if Katan 1: "Just as it is forbidden to pass in front of someone praying, it is also forbidden to pass in front of someone saying Kaddish. The pious Rabbi Yaakov Molcho in his handwritten responses, Siman 135." The poskim wrote that the main part of the Kaddish is until the words "be said in the world." This prohibition is not mentioned in the Mishnah Berurah, and it is possible that he believes there is no need to be concerned about this.
