The Ruling on a Woman in Menstruation Entering the Mosque and Being Near It

Question:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter or approach the mosque?

Answer:
A menstruating woman does not enter the mosque, but if she approaches it and stands at the door outside the mosque, there is nothing wrong with that. What is forbidden is only her sitting in the mosque. Likewise, there is no objection to a menstruating woman entering the mosque to pick up a need and then leaving; only sitting is forbidden. As for passing by the mosque or taking a need from the mosque and leaving, there is no blame on her for that.
