Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in the Sa'i area?
The Shaykh : Yes, it is permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in the Sa'i area, because the Sa'i area is not considered part of the Sacred Mosque. Therefore, if a woman menstruates after the Tawaf and before the Sa'i, does she perform the Sa'i or not?
The student: She performs the Sa'i.
The Shaykh : She performs the Sa'i, because the Sa'i is not Tawaf and does not require ritual purity, and the Sa'i area is not part of the mosque, so it is permissible for her to perform the Sa'i there.
Based on this, we say: If a menstruating woman sits in the Sa'i area waiting for her family, there is no blame on her for doing so.
