Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
From the Algerian Republic, the listener is Mustafa ibn Ahmad. The brother Mustafa has a number of questions, among which is a question about the statement of the Truth —Blessed and Exalted is He—: [Al-Waqi'ah: 79]. Who are the ones mentioned in this verse?
Answer:
The correct view is that the intended meaning is: those purified from states of ritual impurity, from major ritual impurity and minor ritual impurity. Therefore, the mushaf is not to be touched except by one who is purified from both minor and major ritual impurity. For this reason, the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) wrote to the people of Yemen:Muwatta Malik 15:1 This refers to the Noble Qur'an. For this reason, He said after it: [Al-Waqi'ah: 80].
As for reciting it, there is nothing wrong with reciting it even if one is not in a state of minor ritual purity. As for major ritual impurity; it is necessary to be free from it, even if one is not reading from the mushaf. One does not recite while in a state of major ritual impurity. As for one who has minor ritual impurity; there is nothing wrong with reciting it from memory, and ritual purity is not required for that. However, the mushaf is not to be touched except with ritual purity.
The scholars differed regarding the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding: are they like one in a state of major ritual impurity, or are they permitted to recite from memory? Because their duration is long. The correct view is that they are not like one in a state of major ritual impurity; because their duration is long; therefore, they are not compared to one in a state of major ritual impurity. The correct view is: that they are permitted to recite from memory, like one who has minor ritual impurity. Yes.
