Ruling on a menstruating woman touching the mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for me to touch the mushaf during my monthly period, or not?
Answer:
If you are menstruating or experiencing post-natal bleeding, you may recite from memory, reciting in your heart. There is no harm in this according to the correct view. You may recite the Qur'an because the duration of menstruation and post-natal bleeding is long. Therefore, there is no harm in a menstruating woman or a woman with post-natal bleeding reciting from memory.
As for reading from the mushaf, no, she does not read from the mushaf. However, if there is a need to review a verse or some verses, she may do so from behind a barrier, using gloves, or by covering her hands, so that she can review the mushaf to know the verse in which she made a mistake. There is no harm in this when there is a need.
As for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, no, the one in a state of major ritual impurity does not read until he takes a full ritual bath. He does not read from the mushaf, nor from memory, until he takes a full ritual bath. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) did not read while in a state of major ritual impurity, and he said:Musnad Ahmad 872Hasan (Darussalam) meaning: until he takes a full ritual bath.
As for the hadith that a menstruating woman does not read the Qur'an, it is a weak hadith. The hadith:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 131Da'if (Darussalam) is a weak hadith. The established ruling is only regarding the one in a state of major ritual impurity. Yes.
