Touching the Mushaf by a menstruating woman through a barrier when necessary

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. If it is said that a menstruating woman may read the Qur'an out of necessity, if she fears forgetting it or if there is an exam, does she touch it directly or place a barrier between her and it?

Answer:
She touches it with a pen or a ruler. Yes, she does not touch it directly, or she uses a barrier. She puts a cloth on her hands, or she puts gloves on her hands. The important thing is that there is a barrier. Yes, either with a barrier or with a pen. Yes.
