The ruling on a woman with a valid excuse sitting in the mosque to listen to a lesson

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a woman with a valid legal excuse to enter the mosque and sit to listen to a lecture or lesson?

Answer:
It is not permissible for her to sit, but as for entering to take something and leaving the mosque, she may do that. As for sitting while she is menstruating, she does not sit in the mosque. And today, praise be to Allah, the loudspeakers carry the sound for her, even if she is outside the mosque or in her house. Yes.
