Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the Haram to listen to a lesson?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to enter any of the mosques, whether the Haram or otherwise. Rather, she should be outside the mosque and listen via the microphone through the external speakers; there is no harm in that. As for her entering the mosque while menstruating, it is not permissible, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade a menstruating woman from sitting in the mosque. Yes.
