A Menstruating Woman: May She Read the Qur'an?


Question :

When I am Junub (in a state of sexual impurity) or when my monthly period comes, may I read religious books, for instance, Tafsir books?


Answer:

A menstruation woman and someone who is Junub (whether male or female) both may read religious books, such as Tafsir books, Figh books, Hadith books, or books on Tawhid. They are only prevented from actually reciting the Qur'an, not supplications or other texts.
