Ruling on a menstruating woman reciting the Qur'an from memory
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an from memory?
Answer:
It is not permissible for her to do so except in a case of dire necessity, if she fears that she will forget what she has memorized, in which case she recites it for the sake of preserving it. Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah issued a ruling that it is permissible in that case if she fears forgetting it. Likewise, they included the case where she would miss an examination in the Qur'an; if she would miss it and fall behind, she recites the Qur'an for the examination due to the necessity of removing the harm from her.
