I heard that a menstruating woman does not read the Qur'an, so how do I manage when I need to read supplications and review the curriculum for memorization in my studies?

Question:
She says: I heard a fatwa that it is not permissible for a menstruating woman to read the Qur'an or touch it. When I am in that state, I am confused when I read the morning and evening supplications. Should I recite the Verse of the Throne, the end of Surat al-Baqarah, the two chapters of seeking refuge (al-Mu'awwidhatayn), and "Say: He is Allah, the One" (Iqra' Huwa Allahu Ahad), or should I not recite them while in that state? Also, when I review my lessons from the books of Tawhid, Hadith, and Fiqh, I must memorize certain verses. Is that also forbidden for me while in the state I described? Or do you direct me to something else? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
As for touching the Mushaf, it is prohibited for a menstruating woman and one in a state of major ritual impurity, based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) This is the consensus of the four Imams (may Allah have mercy on them). As for reciting the Qur'an from memory without touching the Mushaf, this is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. The stronger position, and Allah knows best, is that if she needs to read it because she fears forgetting it, or if she is during exam days and needs to read it for the exam, then this is a dire necessity, and it is permissible for her to read the Qur'an due to that necessity.
As for the dhikr (remembrance of Allah), she should perform the dhikr of tasbih, tahlil, takbir, and seeking refuge. Even if these match the wording of the Qur'an, if she does not intend recitation (tilawah) but rather intends dhikr, there is no harm in that, if Allah wills, for the supplications that match the wording of the Qur'an when recited by a menstruating woman or one in a state of major ritual impurity with the intention of dhikr or daily routine, not with the intention of recitation.
