What is the ruling on touching the mushaf and reciting the Qur'an for a menstruating woman and a person in a state of major ritual impurity?

Question : The questioner says: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to touch the mushaf and recite the Qur'an, especially if she is a teacher or a student in a Qur'an memorization circle?

Answer : Yes. As for touching the mushaf, it is not permissible for a menstruating woman or a person in a state of ritual impurity to touch it, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote a letter to 'Amr ibn Hazm, and in it he said: "And let no one touch the Qur'an except one who is in a state of purity." However, it is possible to recite the Qur'an from the mushaf while wearing gloves. Do you know what gloves are? Yes. Gloves are more common to us than mittens. What are they? Yes. Hand coverings, that is fine. Or one can place a handkerchief on the mushaf, place one's hand on the page, and turn the pages with the handkerchief. Do you understand? As for touching it while in a state of impurity, that is not permissible.
Some scholars have cited as evidence for this the saying of Allah the Exalted: This argument is incorrect, because the saying of Allah the Exalted, "No one touches it except the purified," refers to the hidden Book. Read what Allah the Exalted said: What? The pronoun refers to what? It refers to the hidden Book, because the rule for pronouns in the Arabic language is that they refer to the nearest mentioned antecedent. And when He said "the purified," He did not say "the purified [people]." Rather, He said "the purified," and they are the angels. So this verse does not indicate that it is not permissible for a person to touch the mushaf except in a state of purity. However, the hadith indicates that, and the Sunnah is like the Qur'an in the obligation to act upon what is authentic from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him).
As for reciting the Qur'an, if there is a need, there is no harm in a menstruating woman reciting it. The need is if she fears forgetting, if she is a teacher, if she is a student, if she needs to recite it for an exam, or if she has a child who recites from the Qur'an at night or during the day, and she recites it for him. The important thing is that if there is a need, there is no harm in reciting the Qur'an without touching the mushaf. As for a person in a state of major ritual impurity, he does not recite the Qur'an until he takes a full ritual bath. The difference between a person in a state of major ritual impurity and a menstruating woman is clear. A person in a state of major ritual impurity can take a full ritual bath and remove the barrier, but a menstruating woman cannot do so until her period ends. Therefore, a dispensation was granted to the menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an out of need, but no such dispensation was granted to the person in a state of major ritual impurity. Rather, it is said to the person in a state of major ritual impurity: Take a full ritual bath first, then...
