Is it permissible to pray over a deceased menstruating woman or a woman in postpartum bleeding (nifas) in the mosque?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a menstruating woman or a woman in postpartum bleeding (nifas) to stay in the mosque. However, there is no harm in performing the funeral prayer for a woman who died while menstruating or in postpartum bleeding in the mosque, because religious obligations cease with death.
