Question
Can women in mensuration enter the white marble area on the outside part of masjidul haram? Is that part considered a part of majidul haram.

عورت ناپاکی کے ایام میں نہ تو مسجد میں داخل ہو نہ طواف کرے اور نہ قرآن کریم پڑھے (البتہ حرم شریف کے باہر جو سفید پتھروں کا صحن ہے اس میں آمد ورفت اور بیٹھنا اس کے لئے جائز ہے کیوں کہ یہ حصہ خارج وسجد ہے
