Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to attend lectures in the women’s prayer area?

Question : He says: Shaykh, is it permissible for a woman who is menstruating to attend such lectures in the women’s prayer area?

Answer : Yes, this is correct and important. It is not permissible for a menstruating woman to be in the mosque, even in the women’s prayer area, because the women’s prayer area is inside the mosque. However, she may sit outside the mosque and listen, or, for example, have female students from the mosque listen to the lectures via a loudspeaker from the minaret, or in the market, yes, when it is recorded. But I tell you, may Allah bless you, watching the lecturer or listening to him directly is more impactful than thinking about it.
