Ruling on a person in a state of major ritual impurity reading the Qur'an or listening to it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Does a person in a state of major ritual impurity read the Book of Allah from memory? And if that is not permissible, does he listen to it? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
It is not permissible for a person in a state of major ritual impurity to read the Qur'an, neither from the mushaf nor from memory, until he performs the full ritual bath; because it is established from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) that nothing prevented him from the Qur'an except major ritual impurity. As for listening to the recitation of the Qur'an, there is no blame on the person in a state of major ritual impurity, rather it is recommended for him because of the great benefit in it, without touching the mushaf or reading from it. And success is from Allah.
