Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to eat with those who are breaking their fast at the time of the Maghrib Adhan in the courtyards of the Haram or any other public place designated for fasters to break their fast?
It is impermissible for a menstruating woman or for those who are not fasting to eat from food designated for fasting people to break their fast, because it is a charity for them, and she is not among them.
However, if a menstruating woman is accompanying a fasting person and food is presented to him, there is a difference of opinion regarding the permissibility of giving her some of it: 1. The opinion that it is impermissible to feed others from it except with the permission of the food's owner. 2. The opinion that it is permissible to feed others from it if one is able to do so, because one owns it through empowerment.
Some have argued that ownership of the food is for personal benefit only, not for general disposal.
