The ruling on a menstruating woman passing through the mosque to retrieve her need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. One of the women’s Qur’an memorization circles held a ceremony in one of the mosques. He says: On the final day, the memorizers were honored, and among them were women in a state of menstruation who had stayed away from the mosque and sat at its entrance. The question is: Is it permissible for one of them to pass through to collect her certificate and leave immediately?

Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that. A menstruating woman may enter the mosque to retrieve a need, provided she does not sit down. There is no harm in that, except for those who are merely passing through.

The presenter:
We say: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant us success. Aishah was ordered to bring the cup from the mosque while she was menstruating, so a menstruating woman or a woman in a state of major ritual impurity passing through the mosque, merely crossing it, is not a problem,
do not approach prayer while you are intoxicated until you know what you are saying or in a state of janabah, except those passing through [a place of prayer]لَا تَقْرَبُوا الصَّلَاةَ وَأَنتُمْ سُكَارَىٰ حَتَّىٰ تَعْلَمُوا مَا تَقُولُونَ وَلَا جُنُبًا إِلَّا عَابِرِي سَبِيلٍ
[An-Nisa 4:43]
. Yes.
