Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to sit on the steps leading to the Kaaba courtyard?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

It is not permissible for a menstruating woman to stay in the mosque, according to the majority of scholars. The stairs leading to the Kaaba courtyard are part of the mosque, so it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to sit there. If she does so, she must repent to Allah Almighty and not return to it.
