Is it forbidden for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Is it forbidden for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an? The answer is that there is no authentic, explicit hadith indicating prohibition. For this reason, the correct view is that it is permissible for her to recite the Qur'an. However, based on the fact that the majority of scholars said that she does not recite it, I see that it is a precaution not to recite the Qur'an except when there is a need, such as when she is learning or teaching, or the Qur'an that serves as dhikr in the evening and morning. As for mere worship, as long as some scholars say that she is sinful and others say that she is rewarded, the precaution is not to recite, because if she does not recite, no scholar has said that she is sinful. But if she recites, yes, some scholars have said that she is sinful, but the stronger view is that it is not forbidden. However, as a precaution, she should not recite except what she needs.
