Ruling on a menstruating woman reciting the Qur'an without touching the mushaf
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Our sister asks and says: What is the ruling on a menstruating woman reciting the Qur'an without touching the mushaf?
Answer:
In this issue, there is scholarly disagreement, and the closest and most apparent view is that there is no blame on her; because her period lasts a long time, it is not like the state of major ritual impurity (janabah). The one in a state of major ritual impurity has a short duration; he takes a bath and then reads. As for the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding, their durations are long; so the stronger and more correct view is that there is no blame on either of them in reciting from memory. This is the original ruling, and it is not permissible to analogize menstruation to major ritual impurity, because the duration of menstruation is long and post-natal bleeding is even longer. As for the hadith:Jami` at-Tirmidhi 131Da'if (Darussalam), it is a weak hadith according to the scholars and does not serve as a proof. So the stronger view is that there is no blame on her—meaning the menstruating woman—in reciting the Qur'an from memory, not from the mushaf, but from memory. And likewise for the woman with post-natal bleeding, all the more so.
As for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, no, the one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite the Qur'an, neither from memory nor from the mushaf; because of the authentic hadith, and in another narration: .
The presenter: May Allah reward you with good.

The menstruating woman does not recite - nor the Junub - anything from the Qur'an.
لا تقرأ الحائض ولا الجنب شيئًا من القرآنAs for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, no, the one in a state of major ritual impurity does not recite the Qur'an, neither from memory nor from the mushaf; because of the authentic hadith
That the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from anything of the Qur'an except by major ritual impurity
أن النبي عليه السلام كان لا يمنعه شيء من القرآن إلا الجنابةThat he (peace and blessings be upon him) recited some verses and then said: This is for one who is not in a state of major ritual impurity, as for the one in a state of major ritual impurity, not even a verse
أنه ﷺ قرأ بعض الآيات ثم قال: هذا لمن ليس جنباً، أما الجنب ولا آيةThe presenter: May Allah reward you with good.
