Fathwa, - Ruling on menstruating women entering a wedding hall attached tothe Masjid

Question
Is it permissible for a bride who is menstruating to enter a wedding
hall attached to the Masjid so as to conduct her marriage contract ?
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.
If the hall was intended to be a women's prayer hall, then it is
impermissible for a menstruating woman to enter; for its ruling is as
the ruling for the Masjid itself. and according to the majority of
scholars itis forbidden for menstruating women to stay in a Masjid.
However,if this wedding hall was not pre-allocated to be a prayer room
for women, even if women pray in it, then it is permissible for
menstruating women to enter it.
It is worth mentioning that the bride's presence during nuptials is
not a requirement., Her consent can be taken beforehand and the
marriage contract can be fulfilled without her presence..
