Is ablution required to read the Qur'an?
Scholars differed on the ruling of reciting the Quran for a person in a state of minor ritual impurity (al- al-asghar). It is permissible by consensus for such a person to recite the Quran, though it is preferable for them to purify themselves. However, for a person in a state of major ritual impurity (al-hadath al-akbar), such as menstruation, post-natal bleeding, or (sexual defilement), the majority of scholars hold that it is not permissible to recite the Quran, even without touching the .
The Maliki school, however, permits menstruating and post-natal women to recite the Quran, but not the person in a state of janabah. The majority of scholars permit a person in a state of janabah or menstruation to supplicate with verses from the Quran. The Maliki school also permits a person in a state of janabah to perform (exorcism/healing) for themselves or others with Quranic verses.
