Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to touch prayer beads (misbaha) that have the name of Allah and His Messenger written on them, and to use them for Tasbeeh (glorification)?
There is no harm for a menstruating woman in touching and reciting the Beautiful Names of Allah, nor in touching and reciting supplications and hadith. In fact, she may even recite the Noble Qur’an from memory, according to the preponderant opinion. All acts of worship and customs are permissible for her, except for prayer, fasting, circumambulating the Kaaba, and intercourse in the vagina, based on the Prophet’s (peace and blessings be upon him) saying to Aisha (may Allah be pleased with her): "Perform all the rituals of Hajj except for circumambulating the Kaaba until you become pure."
