The Menstruating Woman Reading the Qur'an from the Mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says, may Allah reward you: A woman read from the mushaf while menstruating, using a barrier between her and the mushaf. He says: Now that she has learned the ruling, after she becomes pure, does she continue reading from where she left off, or does she start over from the beginning?
Answer:
A menstruating woman does not read from the mushaf, according to the majority of scholars. Some scholars hold that she may read, provided she does not touch the mushaf; she reads without touching it, by placing a barrier over her hands and reading from the mushaf if she has not memorized it. This is the stronger position, because menstruation lasts a long time, and not reading the Qur'an during that period deprives her of a great amount of good. She may read the Qur'an from memory or from the mushaf without touching it; this is the stronger position, if Allah wills.
