Question Summary:
Is a woman in menstruation permitted to enter the Haram and Masjid al-Nabawi?

Question Detail:

Are women in a state of Haidh allowed to enter the haram in Makkah and Madinah? What is the ruling regarding entering a mosque in the state of haidh?

Answer :

In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
No, it is impermissible for a woman in the state of menstruation (haidh) to enter a Masjid[1] including the Haram in Makkah and Masjid al-Nabawi in Medina. It is against the sanctity of a Masjid to enter in such a state. A woman will be sinful by entering a Masjid in the state of menstruation. Tawbah and istighfār should be made for doing so.

[1]  (وَمِنْهَا) أَنَّهُ يَحْرُمُ عَلَيْهِمَا وَعَلَى الْجُنُبِ الدُّخُولُ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ سَوَاءٌ كَانَ لِلْجُلُوسِ أَوْ لِلْعُبُورِ. هَكَذَا فِي مُنْيَةِ الْمُصَلِّي وَفِي التَّهْذِيبِ لَا تَدْخُلُ الْحَائِضُ مَسْجِدًا لِجَمَاعَةٍ وَفِي الْحُجَّةِ إلَّا إذَا كَانَ فِي الْمَسْجِدِ مَاءٌ وَلَا تَجِدُ فِي غَيْرِهِ وَكَذَا الْحُكْمُ إذَا خَافَ الْجُنُبُ أَوْ الْحَائِضُ سَبُعًا أَوْ لِصًّا أَوْ بَرْدًا فَلَا بَأْسَ بِالْمُقَامِ فِيهِ وَالْأَوْلَى أَنْ يَتَيَمَّمَ تَعْظِيمًا لِلْمَسْجِدِ. هَكَذَا فِي التَّتَارْخَانِيَّة

(وَأَمَّا) حُكْمُ الْحَيْضِ وَالنِّفَاسِ فَمَنْعُ جَوَازِ الصَّلَاةِ، وَالصَّوْمِ، وَقِرَاءَةِ الْقُرْآنِ، وَمَسِّ الْمُصْحَفِ إلَّا بِغِلَافٍ، وَدُخُولِ الْمَسْجِدِ، وَالطَّوَافِ بِالْبَيْتِ لِمَا ذَكَرْنَا فِي الْجُنُبِ.....
