Women In Menses Entering The Musallah

[ummtaalib]

Q. I have a query regarding a woman in Haidh. Can a woman in this state sit on a Musalla at a Jamaat Khana – one that is within a shopping mall / restaurant etc?

 

 

A. It is permissible for a female in Haidh (menses) to enter a Jamaat Khana or Musalla as the laws of the Musjid do not apply. (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, Vol: 1, Pg: 38, Dar Ihya-it Turath al-Arabi)

 

It is not permissible for a female in Haidh or an impure person to enter a Musjid. (al-Fatawa al-Hindiyyah, Vol: 1, Pg: 38, Dar Ihya-it Turath al-Arabi)

 

 

And Allah Knows Best

Question and Answer:
Q. is it Ok for a Woman to Wait at a Jamaat Khana for Females For her Lift Whilst she is in a State of Menses?

(Query published as received)

 

A. She can wait in a Jamaat Khana/Musalla in the state of menstruation. A Jamaat Khana is not the same as a Musjid and purity is not a precondition for entering, unlike a Musjid where it is compulsory to be clean.
