Establishing a prayer area for women in the school: May a menstruating woman enter it?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Praise be to Allah alone, and may peace and blessings be upon the one after whom there is no prophet. Having reviewed the inquiry submitted to His Eminence the Grand Mufti by the questioner, the head of the branch of the Quran Memorization Society in al-Zulfi, and referred to the Committee by the General Secretariat of the Council of Senior Scholars with number (3553) and date 28/3/1422 AH, the questioner asked the following: We have established a dedicated prayer area for women (450 square meters) in the women’s Quran house, with the following purposes: 1. For women to perform their prayers there, approximately twice a day. 2. It will serve as a space for eight circles for teaching the Noble Quran. 3. It will be a place for delivering lectures and seminars among the students. The question is: Is it permissible for a woman who is menstruating to enter this
prayer area in order to attend the circle or not? It is known that congregational prayer will not be held in this prayer area.
After studying the inquiry, the Committee responded that the place you mentioned does not take on the ruling of a mosque; rather, it is a prayer area for women and a place for lessons and preaching specific to them. Therefore, it is permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in it, and the greeting of the mosque is not prescribed for it; it is like other classroom halls.
