Ruling on a menstruating woman entering the mosque to read in the external annex

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Muhammad from al-Kharj, may Allah protect you, says: As for a woman who goes out to the mosque while in her legal excuse and only wants to read, and this is in the external annex of the mosque, what is the ruling on that?

Answer:
She does not enter the mosque. A menstruating woman does not enter the mosque except as a passerby to fetch a need, and there is no harm in that. As for her sitting in the mosque while she is menstruating, she does not sit, just as the one in a state of major ritual impurity does not sit in the mosque. The one in a state of major ritual impurity also does not sit in the mosque, but there is no harm in him passing through the mosque to fetch a need. So she sits outside the mosque and does not sit in the mosque, and she does not recite the Qur'an while she is menstruating. The one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite the Qur'an while in that state until he purifies himself. Yes.
