The ruling on a woman entering the mosques while she is menstruating

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you with good and do you good. Also, a sister of ours from Na'am says: Your sister in Allah, Umm Saud. Umm Saud has five cases; in one of her cases she asks: Is it permissible for a woman to enter the Sacred Mosque while she is menstruating?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a woman to enter the Sacred Mosque, nor any other mosque, even the prayer ground for the festival, while she is menstruating; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said
I do not make the mosque lawful for a menstruating woman and for a person who is sexually defiled.لا أحل المسجد لحائض ولا جنب
Sunan Abi Dawud 232Da'if (Al-Albani)
, and he ordered the menstruating women to go out for the festival prayer and to stay away from the prayer ground. So a menstruating woman does not enter the Sacred Mosque or any other mosque, and she is menstruating while sitting in it and staying in it. Yes.
