Touching the Mushaf by a menstruating woman and reading from tafsirs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to hold the Mushaf or read from *Safwat al-Tafasir* and other such books?
The Shaykh:
There is no harm in reading from tafsirs, as they are not the Mushaf. As for the Mushaf, she must not touch it directly unless she is in a state of ritual purity. If she needs to read from it, she should do so through a barrier; she places a barrier on her hand and holds it that way. Yes.
The questioner:
Does she read from memory, Honorable Shaykh?
The Shaykh:
She reads from memory or from the Mushaf, but she does not touch it while she is menstruating.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
She places a barrier on her hand, yes.
