The Ruling on a Woman Interpreting the Qur'an While Menstruating

Question:
We return to the message from our sister listener, Huda. We have presented a large portion of her questions, and in this episode she asks and says: Is it permissible for a woman to interpret the Qur'an, even if she is excused?

Answer:
Yes, she may interpret the Qur'an if she has knowledge, conveying from the words of the mufassirun (commentators) and interpreting from the words of the well-known scholars of tafsir (exegesis), such as Ibn Kathir, Ibn Jarir, al-Baghawi, and others among the scholars of knowledge. If she is well-informed and knowledgeable, she may interpret it even if she is in the state of menstruation or post-natal bleeding. This is because the correct opinion among the scholars is that she may recite from memory. She is not like the one in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah), whose duration is short, so he is not allowed to recite until he performs the full ritual bath (ghusl). As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, their durations are long, so there is no harm in their reciting from memory, even if they are in the period of menstruation or post-natal bleeding, according to the correct opinion.
As for the well-known hadith of Ibn 'Umar: , it is weak according to the scholars of knowledge. This is because it is narrated by Isma'il ibn 'Iyash from the Hijazis, and he is considered weak by them when narrating from them. His narrations are only considered valid when he narrates from the Shamis. Yes.
