The ruling on reciting the Qur'an while performing certain activities
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible for a person to recite the Qur'an from memory, without the mushaf, while he is working or walking? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, he may recite while he is working, building, harvesting, or doing other things, or while he is walking. He may recite even if he is not in a state of ritual purity, except if he is in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah). The one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite until he performs the full ritual bath (ghusl). As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, the scholars (may Allah have mercy on them) differed regarding whether they may recite before their purity returns. The correct view is that they may. The correct view is that they may recite from memory before their purity returns, meaning from memory, not from the mushaf. This is because their period lasts a long time; they are not like the one in a state of major ritual impurity, whose period is short. He performs the full ritual bath and then recites, but he is prohibited from reciting until he performs the full ritual bath. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him):Musnad Ahmad 872Hasan (Darussalam) And nothing used to prevent him from the Qur'an except major ritual impurity (peace and blessings be upon him). As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, there is no authentic hadith prohibiting them from reciting.
So if the menstruating woman or the woman with post-natal bleeding recites from memory, there is nothing wrong with that, according to the correct view. Yes.

as for the one who is junub, no - (he should not recite), not even one verse.
أما الجنب فلا ولا آيةSo if the menstruating woman or the woman with post-natal bleeding recites from memory, there is nothing wrong with that, according to the correct view. Yes.
