The ruling on reciting the Qur'an for one in a state of major ritual impurity without touching the mushaf

Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for one in a state of major ritual impurity to recite the Qur'an, knowing that he recites it from memory?

Answer:
No. The one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite the Qur'an, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was prevented by major ritual impurity from reciting the Qur'an. So the sinner does not recite the Qur'an, neither from the mushaf nor from memory, until he performs the full ritual bath.
