Answer
Although passing in front of people who are praying should normally be avoided, in this situation there is a genuine need. He should therefore leave in the least disruptive manner possible, such as going to the side or back. If he has to pass in front of several people because there is no other practical way out, there is no sin upon him for doing so due to the necessity. He should not remain in the masjid merely to avoid passing in front of others and risk vomiting and soiling the masjid.
