As Salaamu Alaikoum,

Praise be to Allah.

Women are not prohibited from going to the Masjid as long as she is NOT on her menses. If she is on her menses then she can not go to the Masjid.

The Prophet(saw) used to offer the EID prayer outside and have the menstruation women stay away from the Musallah which is the area in which they prayed outside.

It is haraam for a menstruating woman to stay in the mosque; it is even haraam for her to stay in the Eid prayer place, because of the hadeeth of Umm �Atiyah (may Allaah be pleased with her) who said:

�He (meaning the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)) commanded us to bring out on the two Eids the adolescent girls and the virgins in seclusion, but he commanded the menstruating women to stay away from the prayer-place of the Muslims.� [Narrated by al-Bukhaari, 324; Muslim, 890. Risaalat al-Dima� al-Tabee�iyyah li�l-Nisa�, p. 52-53.]

AND ALLAH KNOWS BEST
