Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, is it permissible for a woman or a man to listen to the Qur'an while in a state of major ritual impurity? And what is the reason for the impermissibility of reciting the Qur'an for one who is in a state of major ritual impurity?
Answer:
It is permissible for a Muslim to listen to the Qur'an while in a state of major ritual impurity, and it is permissible for a woman to listen to the Qur'an while she is menstruating. There is no objection to listening. What is prohibited is recitation for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was prevented by major ritual impurity from reciting the Qur'an. Nothing prevents him from reciting the Qur'an except major ritual impurity. Likewise, menstruation, because it is like major ritual impurity, being a major state of ritual impurity according to some scholars. Therefore, the menstruating woman is prevented from reciting the Qur'an until she takes a full ritual bath, until she becomes pure from menstruation and takes a full ritual bath. And the reason for this, and Allah knows best, is respect for the Qur'an. Reverence for the Qur'an. Yes. Allah sent to you
