Scholarly opinions differ regarding the ruling on a menstruating woman entering a mosque. The prevalent and authoritative view is that she is forbidden from staying in it, but it is permissible for her to pass through it if there is a need. Accordingly, it is not permissible for a woman to enter the mosque during her menstruation, even for cleaning it, because this requires staying, not merely passing through.
