Woman
on her menses wishes to sit in the mas'aa (Safaa and Marwah
area)
*Please appropriately
reference this fatwa to: www.fatwa-online.com, thankyou!*
Question: Is it permissible for a
woman on her menses to sit in the mas'aa?
Response:
Yes, it is permissible for the woman on her menses to sit
in the mas'aa, because the mas'aa is not considered (part
of) al-Masjid
al-Haraam. In that case, if the woman's menses started
after the tawaaf
and before the sa'ee,
then she (is permitted) to do the sa'ee
because the sa'ee
is not the tawaaf.
Also, (to be in the state of) purity is not a condition. So,
based upon this, we say that if the woman on her menses was
to sit in the mas'aa waiting for her husband (family), then
there is no harm in her doing this.
