The ruling on touching the mushaf without wudu' and the ruling on a menstruating woman reading the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, we received this question, Shaykh: What is the ruling on reading the Qur'an and touching it without wudu', and is it permissible for a menstruating woman to read the Qur'an?

Answer:
It is not permissible to touch the mushaf directly without wudu'. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
. As for the menstruating woman, if she needs to read the Qur'an to take an exam or for fear of forgetting it, there is no harm in her reading it from memory or from the mushaf, on the condition that she does not touch the mushaf directly; it should be done with a barrier between her and it. Yes.
