Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There are circles for memorizing the Noble Qur’an inside the women’s prayer area, which is part of the mosque and separated from the main mosque by a curtain. Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to sit there for review and memorization?
Answer:
I tell you, inside the mosque, not just the wall of the mosque, it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in it, even when we pray the Eid prayer. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Likewise, the mosque is even more so; a menstruating woman does not enter the mosque, not for a lesson or anything else, except to pass through or to take something only. Yes.
