The ruling on a menstruating woman reading the Qur'an and listening to it

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Following this is a message from one of our female listeners from Sudan. She says: Umm Hudhayfah, Umm Hudhayfah asks: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an from memory, or to listen to it on the radio?

Answer:
As for listening to the Qur'an while menstruating, there is nothing wrong with it. As for reciting it, she does not recite the Qur'an except out of dire necessity, if she has memorized the Qur'an and fears forgetting it if she leaves it off during the period of menstruation, then she recites it, according to the correct view. Yes.
