What is the ruling on a menstruating woman reading the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to read the Qur'an for the purpose of memorization or review?

Answer:
It is not permissible for a menstruating woman, according to the majority of scholars, to read the Qur'an, just as it is not permissible for one in a state of major ritual impurity, until the state of impurity ends and she performs the full ritual bath. And al-Hamdulillah, meaning, memorizing the Qur'an is not lost. Memorizing the Qur'an is not lost; when she becomes pure and performs the full ritual bath, she reads the Qur'an and memorizes it. Yes.
