Woman visiting the beach

Q: What is the ruling of a woman visiting the beach during her monthly period?

A: At all times, a Muslim woman should guard her chastity and self respect; she will not go to places where any of the two could be affected. Places of intermingling, more especially where people behave and dress in an indecent manner, these do not behove a Muslim woman. The ruling for monthly courses does not change the situation and ruling. The ruling will be the same in this respect, both in the monthly course and out.

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