Question:
Is it true that there is a fatwa permitting a menstruating woman to sit in the King Fahd expansion, because that place is not part of the Haram?
Answer:
The entire mosque, including its expansions, is not permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in. Everything within the mosque’s doors is part of the mosque, and she is not allowed to enter it or sit in it. However, merely passing through the mosque and then leaving is permissible, such as if she has a need, wants to see someone in the mosque, or wants to ask the scholars in the mosque. It is permissible for her to enter, but she must not sit; rather, she should attend to her need and leave.
