A menstruating woman sitting in the mosque courtyards to listen to lessons
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
This is a questioner who says: What is the ruling on a menstruating woman sitting in the courtyards and external areas of the mosque to listen to religious lessons and lectures?
The Shaykh:
What is inside the structure of the mosque, she must not sit in, because it is part of the mosque. As for what is in external courtyards that are not enclosed, they are merely around the mosque, so she must not sit there. Yes.
The questioner:
They ask me, our Shaykh, saying that there is a courtyard outside the women’s prayer area, and before exiting the mosque wall, next to the shoes.
The Shaykh:
What is outside the mosque walls is permissible; what is inside the mosque walls is part of the mosque. Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you.
