The ruling on touching the mushaf by a menstruating woman, a woman in post-natal bleeding, or one in a state of major ritual impurity

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q127: The questioner asks: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman or a woman in post-natal bleeding to touch the mushaf, as well as tafsir books that contain verses from the Noble Qur'an? I ask for your guidance. May Allah reward you with good?
A127: It is not permissible for one in a state of major ritual impurity, whether due to janabah, menstruation, or post-natal bleeding, to touch a mushaf. This is based on the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) in the hadith
of Ibn 'Abbas (may Allah be pleased with him):
no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pureلا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
Muwatta Malik 15:1
As for touching it directly, this is not permissible. As for touching a tafsir that contains verses from the Qur'an, there is no harm in that; because this is not called a mushaf. It is permissible for one in a state of major ritual impurity to touch a tafsir book and to read from it; because this is not a mushaf; rather, it is a tafsir book.
