Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner asks: How do we reconcile the prohibition of a menstruating woman touching the mushaf because she is impure, with the fact that the body of a menstruating woman is pure and not impure?
Answer:
Because she is in a state of ritual impurity (hadath), not because she is ritually impure (najasah). There is a difference between hadath and najasah. She does not touch the mushaf because she has hadath and is not in a state of ritual purity from hadath, not from najasah.
