The ruling on a menstruating woman reading the Qur'an and touching the mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: I am a teacher in Qur'an memorization schools, and sometimes I am menstruating. What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an and touching the mushafs? Please guide us, may Allah bless you.

Answer:
As for the menstruating woman, the scholars differed on whether she recites the Qur'an or not, or whether she recites it if she fears forgetting it, or if she fears missing an exam. If she needs to recite it, she recites it, but she does not touch the mushaf directly; rather, she does so through a barrier or from memory if she needs to do so. Yes.
