Touching the Mushaf by a Menstruating Woman and Her Reciting the Qur'an While Wearing Gloves

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. May a menstruating woman touch the Mushaf and recite the Qur'an while wearing gloves?

Answer:
This is a matter of scholarly disagreement regarding the recitation of the Qur'an by a menstruating woman. However, the stronger position, which Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah (may Allah have mercy on him) selected, is that if she needs to do so, if she needs to do so, she should recite from memory and not touch the Mushaf. She should recite from memory and not touch the Mushaf, only to the extent of the need. Yes.
