Ruling on the requirement of ritual purity when reading the Prophetic hadiths

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner asks regarding a woman: if she wants to read the Prophetic hadiths, is ritual purity required of her, or is it not required?


Answer: Ritual purity is required for touching the mushaf. As for reading without touching the mushaf, or glorifying Allah, saying the declaration of oneness, and other dhikr, ritual purity is not required for them. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would remember Allah in all his states. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) would remember Allah in all his states, even if he was in a state of major ritual impurity. This applies even to the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding. However, regarding the recitation of the Qur'an, the person in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite it at all, and no one touches the mushaf unless he is pure from both states of impurity: major ritual impurity and minor ritual impurity. This is based on his (peace and blessings be upon him) saying:
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
.
The menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding may recite from memory, because the duration of their state is long. They are not like the person in a state of major ritual impurity, who does not recite at all until he performs the full ritual bath. As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, their duration is long, so the correct view is that they may recite without touching the mushaf. If they need to touch the mushaf, it is permissible without a barrier, meaning: behind a barrier such as gloves, to review certain verses and the like. Yes.
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good and do you good.
