Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Oct 24, 2026
Scholars have differed regarding the prostration of recitation ( al-Tilawah) for a menstruating woman and one who is not in a state of ritual purity, as well as regarding the ruling on her reciting the Qur'an and touching the with an interposing object. The adopted by us is the permissibility for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur'an and touch the Mushaf with an interposing object, but she does not perform the prostration of recitation, and prostration is not valid from her.
