YOGYAKARTA - Are menstruation people allowed to enter the mosque? Jumhur ulama of the four schools of Al-Hanafiyah, Al-Malikiyah, Asy-Syafi'iyah and Al-Hanabilah agreed that women who are menstruating are forbidden to enter the mosque.

The reason for the prohibition is actually not a tap for fear that menstrual blood of women will litter the mosque. It's not also because women who are menstruating are not holy. However, the prohibition is solely due to the status of women who are menstruating while in a state of mourning or have a large threshold.

It is necessary to distinguish between people who are exposed to impure and people who have hatred. People who are exposed to impure, as long as the unclean does not flow out, basically it is still allowed to enter the mosque. Meanwhile, people who have ahadats actually do not always contain unclean. For example, people who have a husband and wife relationship, there is no unclean on their bodies. However, the status of the person ishadats. Therefore it is forbidden to enter the mosque.

Meanwhile, another opinion that said that the prohibition of menstruating women from entering mosques was because it was feared that their blood would pollute the mosque, was broken by the allowing women who were istihadhah to enter the mosque.

The arguments used by the scholars are very much, not everything can be written here. So the discussion on this chapter will focus on the arguments of the Quranic verse.

The ulama agreed to use the letter An-Nisa' paragraph 43 as the argument that forbids large people from entering the mosque, it also includes women who are menstruating.

Allah SWT turn it on:

O believers, do not pray while you are drunk so you understand what you said, (don't even approach the mosque) while you are in a state of junub, except just passing by until you take a shower. (QS. An-Nisa': 43)

Even though this verse is explicitly in the form of a ban on approaching prayers for people who are drunk, the purpose of the prohibition for Junes on this verse is a prohibition on entering prayer places, which in this case only applies to mosques.

This was revealed by Al-Imam Asy-Syafi'i, with several hujjah, among others:

In the paragraph above, there is lafadz illa 'asirahy sabilin (just a pass), that is, it's just a pass.

The term passing is certainly not appropriate if it is interpreted by performing prayers while ago. But the closest logic is walking through prayer places, namely mosques.

This meaning is in accordance with the explanation in the writings that there are some of the Prophet's friends who access the road to their house must go through the mosque, such as the house of Ali bin Abi Talib.

With the lafadz: unless it's just a pass, the ulama give an exception.

In this verse, Allah SWT uses a lafadz laa taqrabush-shalah (just ignore your clothes).

Then what is meant, don't you approach prayer? Is it not allowed to do a prayer-like movement? Or is it forbidden to approach people who are praying?

His most reasonable answer is the prohibition against approaching places of prayer, namely mosques and not a ban on imitating the prayer movement or approaching people who are praying.

Another reason that during the prophet's time, performing prayers was very synonymous with coming and entering the mosque. So when there is a ban on entering the mosque, the sound of a ban is enough with a lafadz: don't approach prayer.
