Question:
In the second question from the questioner in Damascus, she says: Is it permissible for a woman to recite the Qur'an during her menstrual period in her heart, meaning: with a recording tape, where the Shaykh is reciting on this recording tape, and I repeat after him in my heart, or on my tongue?
So please inform me about my question.
Answer:
Listening to the Qur'an for a menstruating woman, a woman with post-natal bleeding, and one in a state of major ritual impurity is permissible. It is permissible for a menstruating woman to listen from a tape or from a reciter, and likewise for a woman with post-natal bleeding, and likewise for one in a state of major ritual impurity. Listening is permissible, but one in a state of major ritual impurity must not recite until he performs the full ritual bath, neither from the mushaf nor from memory, until he performs the full ritual bath; because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited this.
As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, the scholars differed on whether they are to be treated like one in a state of major ritual impurity or not. The correct view is that they are not to be treated like one in a state of major ritual impurity; because their duration is long. Therefore, they may recite from memory, and they may review the mushaf without a barrier when reviewing certain verses. There is no blame in this. This is the correct view.
As for the hadith:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 131Da'if (Darussalam) it is a weak hadith, yes.

As for the hadith:
The menstruating woman does not recite - nor the Junub - anything from the Qur'an.
