The Menstruating Woman Reciting the Qur'an from Memory

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a woman asking, and she says: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an from memory?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible for her to do so until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from reciting the Qur'an except by major ritual impurity. However, they said that if she fears she will forget what she has memorized of the Qur'an, there is no harm in her reciting it while menstruating to preserve it from being forgotten. Yes.
