Entering the Masjid while in menstruation?
Question
Q. Can a female enter the Musjid when she is menstruating?
Answer
It is not permissible for a female to enter the Musjid when she is menstruating.
Sayyidatuna Aa’ishah (Radiyallahu Anha) reports that Rasulullah (Sallallahu Alaihi Wasallam) has said:
“I do not permit the Musjid for the woman in her menses and an impure person (in need of a Fardh Ghusl)” (Abu Dawood, Hadith #: 232)
And Allah Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
