The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman or a Woman with Post-Natal Bleeding Reviewing the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Is it permissible for a woman with post-natal bleeding who is memorizing the Qur'an to review it from a tafsir book so that she does not forget the Qur'an?
Answer:
Yes, there is no harm in reading it if she fears forgetting it, and the same applies to a menstruating woman, because they are not like a person in a state of major ritual impurity. The period of major ritual impurity is short; one takes a bath and reads. But the period of menstruation is long, and post-natal bleeding is even longer. So there is no harm in reading the Qur'an and learning from it, especially if they are memorizing it. As for if she is already memorizing it, that is beyond the two categories.
