Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, he says: What is the ruling on a woman reciting the Qur'an while she is menstruating, whether from memory or from the mushaf without touching it?
Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement among the scholars. The school of thought holds that it is not permissible for her to recite. Some scholars issued a fatwa, such as Shaykh Ibn Baz, stating that there is no evidence—no clear evidence—prohibiting her. This was the choice of Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him), who said it is permissible for her to recite if she fears forgetting. If she has memorized the Qur'an and fears she will forget it, it is permissible for her to recite it to preserve it so that it does not slip away from her. Yes.
