The ruling on a menstruating woman touching the mushaf and reading books of tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This sister, Honorable Shaykh, says that her period comes, but she says that in her home she reads books of tafsir and reads from them.
Answer:
There is nothing wrong with that, but she should avoid the mushaf; she should not read from it or touch it except through a medium, such as a pen or a ruler. As for her touching the Qur'an directly while she is menstruating, that is not permissible. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 15:1 Yes.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
