The question

Is it permissible to recite the Holy Qur’an from smartphone applications for a person in a state of major ritual impurity due to sexual intercourse (junub), and is it permissible for a menstruating woman or a woman in postpartum bleeding to recite it? And is it permissible to recite the Holy Qur’an—whether from the Mushaf or from smartphone applications—without ablution if the person is ritually pure?

The answer

A person in a state of major ritual impurity (junub) is not permitted to recite the Qur'an at all, whether reading from a phone or otherwise. However, some scholars permit them to recite a small amount for protection (ta'awwudh) and similar purposes. As for a person in a state of minor ritual impurity (one who has not performed ablution), they may recite as much of the Qur'an as they wish, whether from a phone or otherwise, but they are not permitted to touch the Mus'haf (the physical copy of the Qur'an). It is preferable for recitation to be performed in a state of purity.
