The Menstruating Woman’s Recitation of the Qur’an and Touching It

The questioner:
Or, O Shaykh, do you hold the Qur’an or recite the Qur’an while menstruating, or is that not permissible?

The Shaykh:
The menstruating woman does not recite the Qur’an, neither from memory nor from the mushaf, according to the school of thought, except in cases of dire necessity, as we have mentioned, because her state of ritual impurity is major ritual impurity. What is permissible for her is that she recites the Qur’an while in a state of minor ritual impurity. She may recite the Qur’an from memory; there is no issue with that. She may recite the Qur’an from the mushaf with a barrier between her and it; there is nothing wrong with that.

Another questioner:
That is correct. Even if some of the limbs stood up

The Shaykh:
to study it.

Another questioner:
He is reciting.

The Shaykh:
The woman, meaning the word does not enter into a single word that equals it; it does not enter into the recitation. Yes.
