Is it permissible for a woman during her menstrual period to take a full ritual bath for cleanliness or to cool off?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for a woman who is menstruating to take a full ritual bath during the days of her period and in the middle of it?

Answer:
To cool off, that is not contrary to the ruling. If her intention is to take a full ritual bath for purification, that is not what purifies her. But if she is taking a full ritual bath for cleanliness or to cool off, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
