Which is better for a female teacher: cancelling the lesson during her menstrual period, or giving it in one of the homes with the knowledge of those for whom it is not permissible to do so?
The previous clarified the impermissibility of a menstruating woman staying in the mosque for teaching. If it is possible to hold the teaching session outside the mosque, that is the desired course of action, regardless of whether her excuse is known or not, because a stranger knowing her excuse is not forbidden; this is something Allah has decreed for the daughters of Adam. However, if the teacher is uncomfortable with strangers knowing her excuse and she suspends the teaching session, there is no blame upon her. Nevertheless, what she wishes to conceal will eventually become known, and it is better for her to continue the lesson in one of the homes.
