The ruling on a menstruating woman entering the mosque for ablution when there is a need

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah keep you safe. If a menstruating woman performs wudu, is it permissible for her to enter the mosque, like a person in a state of major ritual impurity?

Answer:
A menstruating woman, if she performs wudu and needs to enter the mosque, she should do so out of necessity. However, if she does not have a need, she should not enter the mosque. But if she has a need, for example, if she fears for her safety if she goes outside the mosque, or feels lonely, or the weather is cold and she needs protection from the cold, or it is raining and she needs to enter the mosque while she is unable to do so because she is menstruating, then she performs wudu in the mosque to address the necessity, just as a person in a state of major ritual impurity does. A person in a state of major ritual impurity does not enter the mosque, but if he has a need, he performs wudu in the mosque to address the necessity. Yes.
