Question:
I ask Allah to do you good. Your Eminence, father, the questioner asks: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to read from the mushaf and move it with a pen or the like?
Answer:
A menstruating woman does not recite the Qur'an according to the majority, because she is in a state of major ritual impurity, like one in a state of janabah, so she does not recite the Qur'an except in the case where she fears forgetting it while memorizing from the surahs or from the Qur'an, and she is afraid she will forget it if she leaves it off. The Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah issued a fatwa that if she fears forgetting it, she should recite it. Yes.
