Ruling on Reciting the Qur'an for One in a State of Major Ritual Impurity, a Menstruating Woman, and a Woman with Post-Natal Bleeding

You say: I love reciting the Qur'an, especially when I am doing housework and at various times. However, during my menstrual period, I find myself, without realizing it, repeating verses of the Qur'an with my tongue. I also listen to audio tapes during my menstrual period. Is there any blame in this?
Answer: There is no blame in reciting while doing your housework, such as cooking or other tasks. Likewise, if you recite while in a state of menstruation or post-natal bleeding, the correct view is that there is no blame in reciting from memory, because menstruation and post-natal bleeding are not like major ritual impurity. The duration of major ritual impurity is short; one performs the full ritual bath and recites, and the woman does the same. But the duration of menstruation is long, and the duration of post-natal bleeding is long. The correct view is that there is no blame in reciting from memory. If she needs to touch the mushaf through a barrier to check for her errors and mistakes, there is nothing wrong with that. As for listening to audio tapes, there is absolutely no blame in it according to all scholars. There is no blame in listening to audio tapes, or listening to someone reciting on the Qur'an radio, or in a gathering where someone is reciting. The menstruating woman listens, the woman with post-natal bleeding listens, and the one in a state of major ritual impurity listens. There is no blame in this, even for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, because he is prohibited from reciting, but there is no blame in his listening. There is no blame in the menstruating woman listening, and likewise for the woman with post-natal bleeding. So the matter is broad in this regard, and praise be to Allah. Yes.
