Women In Haidh Entering The Masjid

Question

is it permissible for a woman to go into the masjid during her period cycle? And what if it’s because you are taking Alima classes inside the masjid at the time of her period?

Answer

It is not permissible for woman to go into the Masjid during her period cycle, even if she has to attend her Aalimah classes. It is against the sanctity of the masjid to do so.

The Uztaadh should conduct the Aalimah classes outside the Masjid.
