The ruling on a menstruating woman reading the Qur'an and touching the mushaf

Question:
The sister questioner says: As for the menstruating woman, does she hold the mushaf and read from it?

Answer:
A menstruating woman does not read the Qur'an, neither from the mushaf nor from any other source, until she becomes pure and performs ghusl, unless she has memorized something or has memorized the Qur'an. If she has memorized a portion of it and fears she will forget it, she may read it to prevent forgetting, as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) issued a fatwa to that effect. Likewise, if it is exam time and the Noble Qur'an is one of the subjects being tested, there is no harm in her reading it so that she does not miss the exam or so that she does not forget it if she has memorized it. However, she must not touch the mushaf. This should be done by means of a pen or a ruler, or by having a barrier between her hands and the mushaf. There is no harm in her browsing the Qur'an out of necessity. Yes.
