The ruling on a menstruating woman entering the prayer areas of schools and government offices

Question:
The first question in this episode is from a woman, M., who sent several questions. In the first one, she says: We have a prayer area in the school, and the teacher told us that a menstruating woman is permitted to enter it because the five daily prayers are not performed there, so it does not have the ruling of other mosques. What is the correctness of her statement? May Allah reward you.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds. May Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet, and upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. As for what follows, a prayer area that is not a mosque, but is only a place where prayer is performed when the time for prayer arrives, whether it is in a government office, a school, or any other place, does not take on the ruling of a mosque, because it is not considered a mosque, but rather a prayer area. So, it does not take on the rulings of a mosque regarding endowments, nor regarding preventing a menstruating woman from entering, nor anything else. Yes.
