A menstruating woman entering the mosque to attend lectures

The questioner:
The questioner says: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque to attend a women’s lecture or something else for the sake of knowledge?

The Shaykh:
What is it?

The questioner:
Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque?

The Shaykh:
No, the menstruating woman.

The questioner:
Attending lectures.

The Shaykh:
And not for lectures. The menstruating woman does not enter the mosque; she stays outside the mosque, either in a car or at the mosque door. As for entering, it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered menstruating women to stay away from the prayer area during the Eid prayer. So how about the mosques? She does not enter the mosque. And not for a lecture. Today, praise be to Allah, recordings are available; she can get a tape and listen to the lecture or lesson and benefit from it. Yes.
