The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman Reading the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He asks: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to worship through the Noble Qur'an during her menstruation, especially in Ramadan?

Answer:
Worship through the Great Qur'an is obligatory for every Muslim, whether menstruating or not, male or female. But perhaps he means: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to read the Qur'an or touch the mushaf? This is not permissible. It is not permissible for her to touch the mushaf, nor is it permissible for her to recite the Qur'an from memory until she performs the full ritual bath; because she is in a state of major ritual impurity, so she must attain ritual purity from the major impurity to recite the Qur'an. Yes.
