Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
He asks: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding to read tafsir, or to read some of the verses that appear in hadith explanations?
The Shaykh:
There is nothing wrong with reading a verse or part of a verse; there is no harm in it. There is nothing wrong with reading tafsir, and there is no harm in reading a hadith explanation if a verse or part of a verse comes up in the course of it. Yes.
The presenter:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success.
The Shaykh:
Because this is not recitation. There is a difference between recitation and reading for the purpose of citing evidence, providing proof, or daily reading. This is not recitation. Yes.
