The Menstruating Woman and the Woman in Postnatal Bleeding Reading the Written Supplications in the Rites of Hajj

Question: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to read the supplications on the Day of 'Arafah, even though they contain verses from the Qur'an?

Answer: There is no harm in a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding reading the supplications written for the rites of Hajj, and it is also permissible for her to recite the Qur'an according to the correct view; because no authentic, explicit text has been transmitted that forbids a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding from reciting the Qur'an. It was only transmitted specifically regarding the person in a state of major ritual impurity that he should not recite the Qur'an while in that state; due to the hadith of 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) and I am pleased with it. As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, a hadith of Ibn 'Umar was transmitted regarding them: but it is weak; because the hadith is narrated by Isma'il ibn 'Iyash from the people of the Hijaz, and he is weak in his narration from them. However, she may recite from memory without touching the mushaf. As for the person in a state of major ritual impurity, it is not permissible for him to recite the Qur'an, neither from memory nor from the mushaf, until he performs the full ritual bath.
The difference between them is that the time for the one in a state of major ritual impurity is short, and he is able to perform the full ritual bath immediately after he finishes with his wife, so his duration does not last long, and the matter is in his hand; whenever he wishes, he performs the bath. And if he is unable to find water, he performs dry ablution with clean earth, prays, and reads. As for the menstruating woman and the woman in postnatal bleeding, the matter is not in their hands, but rather it is in the hand of Allah (Mighty and Majestic).
So when they become pure from their menstruation or postnatal bleeding, they perform the full ritual bath. Menstruation requires days, and postnatal bleeding is likewise. For this reason, reading the Qur'an was permitted for them, so that they do not forget it, and so that they do not miss the virtue of reading and learning the rulings of the Shari'ah from the Book of Allah. It is even more so that they should read books that contain supplications mixed with hadiths and verses, and so on. This is the correct view, and it is the most correct of the opinions of the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) in this matter.
