The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman Reading the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, regarding a woman who is menstruating, does she recite the Qur'an? And is she permitted to touch the Qur'an?
Answer:
She does not recite the Qur'an except out of necessity, such as if she fears forgetting it, or if she is in days of examination and the exam would be missed by her. In that case, she recites from memory, and she does not touch the mushaf, but there must be a barrier between her and it; she touches it from behind a barrier, or by means of a ruler or a pen, and she reads only as much as is necessary. As for when there is no necessity for her to read the Qur'an, the majority hold that she does not recite the Qur'an, neither from the mushaf nor from memory, until she becomes pure. Yes.
