The ruling on a menstruating woman attending a lesson inside the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! Some women attend the lesson while they are menstruating, having their period, and they sit at the back of the women’s prayer area inside the mosque. Is this action permissible?
Answer:
This is forbidden. What is within the walls of the mosque is part of the mosque, so it is not permissible for a woman to enter, even from inside the door. This is not permissible. She should be outside the mosque, at the mosque door, or in the car. As for entering the mosque, this is not permissible for her. And in truth, we made a mistake in not opening the external speakers for women, like the menstruating women. The external speakers should be opened in the future, if Allah wills, so that the sound reaches such menstruating women.
