The Ruling on a Menstruating Woman and a Woman with Post-Natal Bleeding Reciting the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Regarding the woman who is excused by the Shari'ah, is she permitted to recite the Noble Qur'an from behind a barrier?
Answer:
A woman excused by menstruation or post-natal bleeding may recite from memory, from what she has memorized of the Qur'an. If she recites from behind a barrier, such as gloves, there is no blame on her. However, it is more cautious to leave that and recite from memory, unless something is difficult for her and she reviews the mushaf through gloves or the like, in which case there is no blame, if Allah wills.
Most scholars held the view of prohibition, comparing her to a person in a state of major ritual impurity. The correct view is that she is not like a person in a state of major ritual impurity. The duration of major ritual impurity is short; one takes a full ritual bath and then recites. As for a menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding, their durations are long. Therefore, comparing them to a person in a state of major ritual impurity is not correct.
The best and correct view is that they may recite from memory. If they use the mushaf from behind a barrier, there is nothing wrong with it. Yes.
