A menstruating woman entering the mosque to listen to lectures

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque to listen to lectures and lessons?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the mosque and sit in it. She may enter to pick up a need and walk through, which is not a problem, but sitting in it is forbidden and not permissible, neither for a menstruating woman nor for one in a state of major ritual impurity. Yes.
