A menstruating woman entering a prayer area that is not a mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Regarding prayer areas, is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter a prayer area?

Answer:
If it is a mosque, then it is different. If it is not a mosque but merely a prayer area, there is no harm. What is prohibited is entering the mosque, sitting in the mosque, sitting, and passing through. She may pass through and take what she needs; there is no harm. Yes.
