Question:
After the expansions to the Masjid-e-Haram, the mas‛a (sa‛iy area) falls
under the ruling of a masjid. In other words, it will be prohibited for a
woman in her menses or a person in major impurity to enter that area.
Is this what will happen, or will the mas‛a remain in its original ruling?
Answer:
Although the mas‛a has been incorporated into Masjid-e-Haram, it is
not under the ruling of Masjid-e-Haram. Instead, it remains under its
previous and original ruling. In other words, a woman in her menses
or a person in major impurity will not be prohibited from entering.
The following is the unanimous decision of Majma‛ al-Fiqhi al-Islami
(Islamic Fiqh Academy):
Allah ta‛ala knows best.
