The Marble Area outside the Musjid-ul-Haraam

Q:

1- Is the marble area outside the Haram Shareef in Makkah Mukarramah included in the musjid?

2-Is it permissible for a female who is in her haidh (menstruation period) to go onto the marble area outside the Haram Shareef in Makkah Mukarramah?

3- A female who is in her mensuration period,how does she go to do Saee without entering the Masjid of Haram Sharif? Where does she go from?

A:

1. The marble area outside the Haram Shareef is not included in the musjid.

2. The area that is outside the musjid does not have the same law as the musjid, for it is not part of the musjid. Hence, it is permissible for a woman in the state of haidh to walk on this area.

3. She may enter the sa`ee area from the doors that lead directly to it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
