The ruling on a woman who entered al-Masjid al-Haram while menstruating

The questioner : Hello, yes, peace be upon you. Peace be upon you. I have a question about a woman who went to Makkah and performed 'Umrah. Yes, when they went to Ta'if, they did not find an apartment for them. On the same day, they returned to Makkah. When they returned to Makkah, her period had started. They found an apartment for them in Makkah, and her family slept in Makkah and prayed in al-Haram. She was shy of her family and entered al-Haram with them.

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : What is permissible in this case?

The Shaykh : She entered al-Haram while she was in a state of excuse. It is not permissible for her to be in al-Haram. She must now repent to Allah and say, "I seek forgiveness from Allah and I repent to Him," and she must not return to this. She must not return to entering al-Masjid al-Haram and staying in it while she is in a state of excuse, because it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to stay in the mosque.

The questioner : She owes nothing.

The Shaykh : No, she owes nothing except that she must repent to Allah and not return to it.
