Fathwa, - It is permissible for menstruating woman to remain in Mas‘a

Question
Is it allowable for menstruating women to enter Al-Masjid
Al-Haraamwithout reaching the nave (area surrounding the Ka'bah), the
Ka'bah or the area of circumambulation? For example, to enter through
the door of King Fahd, or stand in Mas'a, i.e. the area where pilgrims
perform Sa'y between As-Safa and Al-Marwah for supplication and to
wait for her friends to perform 'Umrah?
Answer
All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify
that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad
, is His Slave and Messenger.
Muslim scholars hold different opinions regarding the ruling on
menstruating women entering the Masjid; the preponderant opinion is
that it is impermissible.
And this ruling applies to Al-Masjid Al-Haraam even more so due to its
nobility. This applies to all areas that are attached to Al-Masjid
Al-Haraam, such as the yard of the Masjid beyond the doors, and the
area between the nave and the Mas'a; However, it is permissiblefor a
menstruating woman to enter the Mas'a since she is allowedto perform
Sa'y between As-Safa and Al-Marwah. 'Aa'ishah narrated that the
Prophet , told her when she experienced menstrual bleeding during
Hajj: " Dowhat all the pilgrims do except that you do not perform
Tawaaf round the Ka'bah. " [Al-Bukhaari and Muslim]
This proves that the Mas'ais not a part of Al-Masjid Al-Haraam.
