Am I sinful for holding, kissing, and placing the Mushaf on my head while menstruating, due to ignorance of the ruling?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A menstruating woman is not permitted to touch the (copy of the Quran), based on the Almighty's saying: "Indeed, it is a noble Quran in a well-preserved Record. None touch it except the purified." (Quran 56:77-79), and according to the saying of the Messenger of Allah, peace and blessings be upon him: "None should touch the Quran except one who is pure." However, ignorance of a religious ruling is excused, for the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah has forgiven my nation for their mistakes, their forgetfulness, and what they are forced to do."
