Menstruating Women And Women Experiencing Post-Natal Bleeding: May They Touch the Qur'an?

Question :

Noble Shaykh, it is a habit of mine that I recite certain chapters of the Qur'an before I go to sleep, but there are days when I cannot do this because of my monthly period. May I write the chapters I wish to read on a piece of paper, so that I can read them during my period?

Answer:

Menstruating women and women experiencing post-natal bleeding may recite the Qur'an, according to the most correct view from the scholars, since there is no authentic proof that points to the contrary. However, they may not touch the Mushaf. What they can do is hold it indirectly, by placing a cloth, for instance, between the hand and the Qur'an, and the same ruling applies for a piece of paper upon which is written parts of the Qur'an. And with Allah is the facilitation to do what is right.
