The answer

It is permissible to engage in buying and selling during the time of Jumu'ah prayer for a menstruating woman or a woman residing in a non-Islamic country, as Jumu'ah prayer is not obligatory upon them. However, she is advised to emigrate to Muslim countries unless there is an urgent necessity, based on the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "I am free from any Muslim who resides among the polytheists, such that their fires are not visible to each other."
