Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! The questioner says: Some women recite the Qur'an while they are menstruating, and they hold the mushaf with something other than the mushaf itself. Is this permissible?
Answer:
The well-known view among the scholars, and the one followed by the muftis in this land, is that she does not recite the Qur'an, just as with a person in a state of insanity. However, Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) held the view of granting her a dispensation to recite the Qur'an. This is the fatwa of the Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him). As for others, they issue a ruling of prohibition for her, except if she is compelled, such as if she fears forgetting, as Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah said. Yes, in any case, caution is required. Yes.
