Question:
She has a question in which she asks: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque to attend women's religious sessions? Sessions of knowledge in which we study the words of Allah? And is this hadith related to my question? And what is its meaning? The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan ad-Darimi 2:93 in groups
Answer:
Women going out to the mosques for the sake of prayer, this is what the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) permitted.
And he said: Do not prevent the women of Allah from the mosques of Allah, and let them go out in groups, meaning not adorned, not wearing perfume, and also being covered and veiled. This is for prayer with the Muslims.
And they should keep away from the rows of the men, if they are behind them; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) ordered that the women be placed behind the men. As for their going out for other than prayer, such as attending lessons and lectures, there is no harm in that, if the conditions of hijab are met, and they leave off perfume, and avoid exposure to fitnah (trial, discord or temptation), and the women are in a place separated from the men.
There is no harm in their going out and listening to beneficial knowledge. As for women gathering in a mosque, gathering alone in a mosque, not following the men, but rather gathering in the mosque, this is not prescribed, and it is not known in Islam.
Because the going out of women and their gathering separately from the men, and they make a lesson for themselves in the mosque specifically for them, and among themselves, this is not prescribed. And they should sit in their homes, and gather in one of the houses, in the house of one of them, and learn and study what they benefit from of the Shari'ah knowledge in the houses. Yes.
