As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Every Muslim woman should know that she is prohibited from praying and fasting when on her period. There is no further research needed to be done on this because it is clear from the Quran and the Sunnah that a woman can not perform these things when impure. For a woman to be Muslim all her life and not know this, is just pure ignorance.

Also, women are prohibited from going to the Mosque on their periods too.

You need to understand what Musalla is. Musalla is an arabic word that simply means place of prayer and this refers to when Praying out side... it does not refer to the Masjid.

A woman can not attend the Mosque when on her period:

The Prophet(saw) saw that his companions houses were near the mosque. He said, "Direct those houses away from the mosque." He then entered the Mosque and then he came out and he said, "Direct those houses away from the Mosque for it is not permitted for menstruating women or the sexually impure person to be in the Mosque [Abu Dawud]

Umm Salama related that the Prophet(saw) came the the courtyard of the Mosque and announced, "The Mosque is off limits to menstrating women and sexually impure persons." [Ibn Majah and Tabarani]

So sister you need to also stay away from the Mosque when you are on your period.

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
