The ruling on a menstruating woman entering the mosque to retrieve something from it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it forbidden for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque?

Answer:
She may not enter it to sit, but walking through is fine, it is fine. What is prohibited is her sitting in the mosque. However, she may enter, take something from the mosque, and leave; there is nothing wrong with that. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Aisha, who was menstruating:
Get me a mat from the mosque.ناوليني الخمرة من المسجد
Sunan Ibn Majah 632Sahih (Darussalam)
She told him that she was menstruating. He said: “Your menstruation is not in your hand,” meaning that there is no menstruation in the hand. Yes.
