A menstruating woman entering the mosque to listen to a lecture

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a woman to enter the mosque to listen to a lecture while she is menstruating?

Answer:
She is not allowed to enter the mosque, except to pass through once. As for sitting for an hour, that is not allowed. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prevent the mosque from being used by a menstruating woman or one in a state of major ritual impurity, and he ordered Aisha to bring something from the mosque. She said: I am menstruating. He said:
You are not present with your hand,ليست حضرتك بيدك،
So passing through is not looked at, meaning she passes from one door to another, or enters and exits for a need, there is no harm in that. As for sitting, that is not allowed. Yes.
