Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
There is no objection to a menstruating woman or a woman in postpartum bleeding reciting supplications (du'a) and reciting the Qur'an. They may also read books of (Qur'anic exegesis) without touching the Mus'haf (the physical copy of the Qur'an). As for the person in a state of (major ritual impurity), it is not permissible for him to recite the Qur'an at all until he performs (ritual bath). However, he may read books of tafsir and without reciting the actual verses.
