Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you and grant you good. The questioner, or rather the questioner, a woman from Sharqiyah, says: What is the ruling on a woman going to the mosque to listen to a lecture, for example, and benefit from it while she is menstruating? Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
A menstruating woman does not sit in the mosque; rather, she sits near the mosque, in a place outside the mosque, either in a house or in a car. There is no harm in her listening to the lecture while being outside the mosque. As for inside the mosque, she should not linger in it or sit in it. And now, praise be to Allah, cassettes achieve the purpose. If the lecture, hadith, or sermon is recorded, she can request a copy of this recording. Yes.
