Ruling on Reciting Dhikr for a Woman in Menstruation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q136: The questioner says: Regarding a woman in the state of menstruation, she does not recite or touch the Qur'an. Is she permitted to repeat the dhikr and listen to the Qur'an via the radio?
A136: A menstruating woman does not recite directly from the mushaf, meaning from the mushaf without a barrier. However, if she recites with a barrier between her and the verses, there is no harm in that, especially if she needs to do so, if she fears forgetting what she has memorized, or if she is a student and this coincides with days of examination in the Qur'an. In that case, she reads out of necessity, but she does not touch the mushaf directly; because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Muwatta Malik 15:1 .

no-one should touch the Qur'an unless he was pure
لا يمس القرآن إلا طاهر
