Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: If a person is in a state of major ritual impurity and wants to cite a verse from the Book of Allah as evidence for an issue, is it permissible for the person in a state of major ritual impurity to recite this verse?

Answer:
No, he does not recite from the Qur'an while in a state of major ritual impurity, not even a single letter. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from the Qur'an except by major ritual impurity; major ritual impurity used to prevent the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him).
