The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman Reading the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on a menstruating woman reading the Qur'an?
Answer:
A menstruating woman should not read the Qur'an, except in cases of dire necessity. If she fears that she will forget what she has memorized, she may read it so that it does not be lost to her. Or if she encounters an exam that she would miss if she did not read, there is no harm in her reading for the sake of the exam, because this is a dire necessity; if she did not read, she would miss the exam and harm would befall her. As for any situation other than these two, she does not read the Qur'an until she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath.
And she does not touch the mushaf under any circumstances. She does not touch the mushaf directly under any circumstances. Yes, but she may read from memory, or she may read from the mushaf through a barrier. She places a barrier on her hand and reads from the mushaf, or she touches the mushaf with a tool, such as a ruler or something else. Yes.
