Question:
He says: The common people prevent the menstruating woman from going up to the roof of the house because she is forbidden from seeing the moon. Is there a legal basis for this?
Answer:
The common people have great rulings that they impose on the menstruating woman and they watch her: she must not look at the moon, she must not look at the courtyard of the house, all of this is ignorance. She must not glimpse it; this is ignorance, and there is no restriction of this in the Shari'ah.
