This is the position of the four Sunni schools of law; however, it is worth noting a minority opinion ascribed to al-Muzanī, Dawud al-Zahiri, and ibn al-Mundhir, permitting anyone in a state of major ritual impurity to remain in the masjid. It is highly recommended to follow the majority opinion unless one is in genuine need to take a weaker opinion as dispensation.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fdd0b76658b4c23276e","tag":"Women: Menstruation and Bleeding","count":63},{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327d3","tag":"Worship: Masjids, Mosques, and Musallahs","count":50},{"_id":"668d9fe50b76658b4c232851","tag":"Contemporary Life: Knowledge","count":33}],"createdOn":"2024-07-09T20:41:52.748Z"}
