The Study of Women in the Mosque and the Ruling on the Menstruating Woman
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, Umm Fahd, from Jeddah says: May Allah reward you with good. What is the ruling on women studying in the mosque if the study courses are permanent, and one of them might be in a state of menstrual impurity?
Answer:
It is not permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in the mosque, neither for study nor for anything else. The preferred place for women’s study is in their homes, not in the mosques, because they may be exposed to consequences that are not praiseworthy, and to matters they may not be able to prevent. So they should gather in one of the homes and study the Qur’an or other things. However, a menstruating woman, even if she is in the house, does not read the Qur’an until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath from menstruation. Yes.
