Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter al-Masjid al-Haram or other mosques to seek knowledge?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter al-Haram or other mosques to seek knowledge?

Answer:
A menstruating woman does not enter; she does not sit in the mosque, neither al-Masjid al-Haram nor any other. A menstruating woman does not breathe in the mosque, and a person in a state of major ritual impurity does not breathe in the mosque until the menstruating woman becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath. Yes.
