Is it permissible for a woman to pray and place a mushaf on a stand in front of her to read from it the long surahs?

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this is an elderly woman who says she has a large mushaf that she places on a stand in front of her. Is it permissible for her to open it and read from it the long surahs during the prayer, given that her hands are on her chest?

Answer:
For the voluntary prayer, there is nothing wrong with it; for the night prayer, for the voluntary prayer, there is nothing wrong with reading from the mushaf. As for the obligatory prayer, one does not read from the mushaf, but rather reads from the short surahs that one has memorized. Even if one limits oneself to al-Fatihah, that suffices, because it is the pillar. So what is required of the Qur'an in the obligatory prayer is little. As for the one who prays at night and reads a lot of Qur'an, there is no harm in his reading from the mushaf, whether he holds it in his hand or on a stand in front of him. Yes.
