Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to sit in the Sa'i area?

The questioner : Is it permissible for her to sit in the Sa'i area for the sake of the coolness, or should she go outside the mosque to the new expansion, or what should she do?

The Shaykh : There is no blame on her for sitting in the Sa'i area, because the Sa'i area is not part of the mosque; it is outside the mosque, with specific boundaries and walls that separate it from the Sacred Mosque. Therefore, it is not part of the mosque. If a menstruating woman sits there, there is no blame on her. She waits, yes, she waits for her family or the like.
