A Guide to the Prohibition of a Menstruating Woman Reading the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the evidence that a menstruating woman does not recite the Qur'an as an act of worship of Allah the Exalted?
Answer:
The evidence is that a hadith was reported stating that a menstruating woman does not recite, but there is a concern regarding the chain of that hadith. However, it is analogized to the state of major ritual impurity (janabah), because menstruation is a major state of ritual impurity and janabah is a major state of ritual impurity. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite the Qur'an while in a state of janabah; his state of janabah would prevent him from reciting the Qur'an until he performed the full ritual bath. So they said that menstruation is like janabah, because it is a major state of ritual impurity and it necessitates the full ritual bath. Yes.
