The ruling on a menstruating woman reading from the mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
One of the sisters is asking Shaykh Salih about a menstruating woman: is she permitted to read from the mushaf, or is it forbidden for her to touch it? May Allah bless you.
Answer:
She does not read except out of need, if she fears forgetting it, if she has it memorized and fears forgetting it, or if it is a time for testing her memorization of the Qur'an, then there is no harm out of need. However, she must not touch the mushaf without a barrier or without an intermediary. Based on the saying of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)Muwatta Malik 15:1 If she places gloves on her hands or has a ruler with her, and does not touch the Qur'an directly, but rather through a barrier or by means of something in her hand, such as a stick or a ruler, there is no harm in that. Yes.

May Allah reward you.
