The ruling on a menstruating woman remaining in the mosque
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Her second question says: My period comes for so many days in the month and then stops, but the text of the question says: We went to the Noble Makkah, and my monthly period came upon me. Since we did not have anyone in Makkah to stay with, I entered the Sacred Precinct and sat in it. Is there anything required of me or not? Thank you.
Answer: It is obligatory for the one who is afflicted with menstruation to remain in her place, in her camp, in her residence in al-Abtah or elsewhere, and not to come to the mosque. This is because a menstruating woman entering the mosque is not permissible except by way of passing through and crossing over. As for intentionally sitting in the Sacred Mosque or any other mosque, it is not permissible. However, if she is compelled, if she came while she was healthy and not menstruating, and then she was afflicted with menstruation while she was in the mosque and does not know anyone to go to, then the best for her is to go out and sit at the door of the mosque until her companions are finished. She should not sit in the mosque. She should consider the door a known place and sit there until they come and she goes with them, doing whatever she can to achieve that. She should not sit in the mosque while she is menstruating, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade that. He said:Sunan Abi Dawud 232Da'if (Al-Albani) But the passerby who passes through, there is no harm in that. So she should strive and be careful to wait for them outside the mosque at the doors. Yes.

I do not make the mosque lawful for a menstruating woman and for a person who is sexually defiled.
