The ruling on reciting the Qur'an for a menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding for the purpose of examination

Question:
May Allah reward you. A sister asks and says: What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an for a menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding, and sometimes an examination coincides with such cases?

Answer:
There is scholarly disagreement among the scholars, and the correct view is that it is permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an from memory, and the same applies to a woman with post-natal bleeding. It is not permissible to analogize a person in a state of major ritual impurity to them, because it is easy for him to perform the full ritual bath quickly and then recite. However, a menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding are not in that situation; they are not like him. They have a duration, and the matter is not in their hands.
So the correct view is that it is permissible for them to recite the Qur'an from memory, and likewise to recite the Qur'an from the mushaf behind a barrier or with gloves when there is a need for it, such as reviewing a passage where one makes a mistake during an exam, or similar cases.
As for the hadith The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) was not prevented from the Qur'an by anything except major ritual impurity. Therefore, a menstruating woman and a woman with post-natal bleeding are not to be analogized to a person in a state of major ritual impurity, because they are not like him. They are in need of reciting the Qur'an from memory and reviewing it during examinations and tests, so that the menstruating woman and the woman with post-natal bleeding do not forget it. However, it is permissible with a barrier: gloves or the like.
