Scholars differ on the ruling regarding a menstruating woman staying in the mosque, and the majority of them, whose opinion is the most preponderant, are of the view that it is impermissible. Learning or teaching does not constitute a necessity that permits staying. Therefore, try to find another place for the study circles. If that is not possible, then the menstruating woman must avoid the mosque, and the pure women should intensify their efforts in teaching. This should be clarified to the sisters, along with mentioning the evidence of the majority.
