Refuting the misconception that a woman's menstruation makes her ritually impure.

The Shaykh : And finally, I mention another hadith, also narrated by the Lady Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her). She said: The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) said one day: The khamrah is the prayer mat, but some say it is the size of the face, just enough to prevent heat from reaching the forehead, and some say it is like the prayer mat used today. We benefit from this hadith that the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not prevent the Lady Aisha from entering the mosque when he asked her for the khamrah and she excused herself by saying she was menstruating. This is a concept present in the minds of many women, as if a woman, when she is not menstruating, is not considered impure, and the reality is not so. Similarly, some men, when they are in a state of major ritual impurity, assume that one of them, while in that state, is ritually impure, and the matter is not so either. It also came in Sahih al-Bukhari: meaning he withdrew, as if it was too much for him to sit with the Messenger or shake his hand while in a state of major ritual impurity.
So, whether the man or the woman is in a state of major ritual impurity, he or she does not become ritually impure. Likewise, the menstruating woman, if she is menstruating, does not become ritually impure. Rather, there is a spiritual ruling, not a material one. Therefore, when the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said to Aisha: it had already occurred to her that she was impure because she was menstruating. What does your menstruation mean? It means the blood, the blood that comes from that place is not in your hand, because that blood alone is the impure thing, while the human body is pure. So, do not worry, enter the mosque and hand me the khamrah. So, he permitted her to enter the mosque. There is absolutely no prohibition for the menstruating woman. So, there is no prohibition for her to read the Qur'an, nor to touch the Qur'an, nor to enter the mosque. So, whoever claims that any of these three things is forbidden for the menstruating woman, we say, as we said earlier: bring your proof if you are truthful.
