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.
