The ruling on a person in a state of major ritual impurity listening to the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Another question, our brother asks: Is it permissible for a person in a state of major ritual impurity to listen to the Noble Qur'an, or to the religious songs, as he called them?
Answer:
Yes, there is no harm for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, the menstruating woman, or the woman with post-natal bleeding; none of them are forbidden from listening to the Qur'an and the prescribed dhikr. What is forbidden is reciting the Qur'an while in a state of major ritual impurity, even if it is from memory, until he performs the full ritual bath. As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, the correct view is that they may recite, because their periods are long. However, they may recite from memory, and they may consult the mushaf through gloves or a barrier, meaning there should be protection between them and the mushaf if there is a need to review a verse or verses. As for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, he may not recite until he performs the full ritual bath, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not recite the Qur'an when he was in a state of major ritual impurity. 'Ali (may Allah be pleased with him) said: "Nothing prevented the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) from the Qur'an except major ritual impurity." In another wording, it was said of him (peace and blessings be upon him):Musnad Ahmad 872Hasan (Darussalam) meaning: he does not recite, not even a verse. Yes.

as for the one who is junub, no - (he should not recite), not even one verse.
