Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur.aan and books of supplications?
Question: Is it allowed for a menstruating woman to read a book of supplications on the Day of ‘Arafah, given the fact that the book contains Qur.aanic verses? Response: There is no harm in a menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman reading the books of supplications that are written for the rites of the pilgrimage. In fact, there is nothing wrong with her reciting the Qur.aan according to the correct opinion. There is no authentic, clear text prohibiting a menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman from reciting the Qur.aan. The thing that is narrated is concerned with the sexually defiled person only, as such should not recite the Qur.aan while he is sexually defiled. This is based on the hadeeth of ‘Alee. As for the menstruating or post-partum bleeding woman, there is the hadeeth of Ibn Umar which states, “Neither the menstruating woman nor the sexually defiled person is to recite anything from the Qur.aan.” However, this is weak. This is because it is from the narrations of Ismaa
