Can women read the quran when na-paak

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

assalaamu alaykum wa rahmatullaah

There is a principle & that is “things are allowed and permitted unless there is evidence to the contrary.”

There is no evidence to say that a menstruating woman is not allowed to recite Qur’aan.

Shaykh al-Islaam Ibn Taymiyyah said: “There is no clear, saheeh text to indicate that a menstruating woman
is forbidden to recite the Qur’aan"

2ndly, if if the menstruating women were not allowed to read the Qur'aan, then wouldn’t we have tons of narrations from the wives of the Prophet sallAllaahu alayhi wasallam? They spent ages with the Qur'aan so they would have told us if we were supposed to keep away from the Qu'aan during this time.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Ok , so I have a question ... I normally read Quran from a website ... during the special days I carry on reading from my computer , coz I am not really touching the Quran .... as far as I am aware , there is no evidence stating that women cant even read Quran during the special days ..

I remember when I was younger and parents sent me to Islamic School to learn Quran , some of the bari baji's who couldnt take days off during special days , they would sit and carry on reading the quran , without touching it .... however the concept of not even reading it , I saw for the first time in Pakistan !

Khair the question is, do any dynamics change for us ladies if we read Quran using laptops rather then holding the actual Quran itself ...

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Why do you think Namaz is not allowed during special days? Its because you have to read Quran in it (and mind it that you are doing it without touching, even then its not allowed).

For teaching purposes, its allowed but you have to teach it/repeat it - in small segments.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

No TLK , I think its because namaz cant be done without wudoo … where as for actually reciting the Quran or reading it as zikr , doesnt need wudoo as a necessity …

I read a few things some time back .. Al-Bukhari records the following from Aisha,
“I was menstruating when I reached Makkah, so I neither performed the circumambulation of the Kaaba nor the going between mounts Safa and Marwa. I informed the Messenger of Allah (peace be upon him) about it and he said, 'Perform all the ceremonies of the Pilgrimage like the other pilgrims, but do not circumambulate the Kaabah until you become pure from your menses.”’
It is well-known that the pilgrims make remembrance of Allah (dhikr) and read the Quran while performing the pilgrimage. The Prophet (peace be upon him), it seems, did not object to Aisha doing any of those acts. In fact, he explicitly told her to perform all the acts that the pilgrims performed save the circumambulation of the Kaabah. This implies that it is permissible for the menstruating woman to do all of the other acts that are customary for the pilgrimage.

i read this article long time back .. just pulled it out of my favourites and sharing it with you … might shed some light :
The Requirement of Tahara for Reciting / Touching The Quran:

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Aray yeah aap ne kahan se like diya ke reading Quran is part of Hajj/Umraa? Its not.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

where do you get this information from? Can I have sources from scholars please and evidence from Islam which states why a menstarating woman can't pray?? Somone can turn around at you and say no because you have to be in the state of wudu and you can't keep wudu in that state. We will never know what the reason is and its dangerous TLK for you to be giving these answers without any evidence.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

I dont like googling and cutting and pasting. Anyone can do that, it does not make me special :(

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Peace amzsonikuri,

Have you read these two books (1) The book of Menstruation (Kitab Al-Haid) of Sahih Muslim and (2) Menstrual Periods from Sahih Al Bukari. If yes than you'll find many hadiths about it where prays are forbidden during special days. However, touching/reading of Qur'an during these special days didn't mentioned directly and scholars i.e. Schools of Thoughts have different opinions.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

There are so many different opinions...do what you think is the best opinion. When in periods, I recite Quran by heart without touching the book.

I teach it to my kids everyday so I have to recite it out loud for them otherwise I recite it in my heart.

Although, when in state of major impurity (after sex) one can't recite Quran even by heart/memory.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Peace Catskin,

There are different of opinions about this too.

May Allah Guide us. Ameen.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

No. I don't think so.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Peace Catskin,

Yes. there are :)

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

I've never heard of any other opinion regarding this May be you can tell us more.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

From what i know, you can read the quran, and even touch the book. Just not the actual writing for which you require wudhu.

The reason namaz is forgiven is because wudhoo is a requirement for salah...which cannot be fulflled.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

In periods I think women need more protection since she is "naa-paak" The negative things i.e. Jinn Balas tend to get more attracted so I guess one is to read surahs for protection whenever they know they might get harmed so how can they not be allowed to read anything from the quran? Plus Na-paaki haatho mein toh nahi aati. You can wash your hands, take a bath even in period just like how you are supposed to do after your days are over so I dont see why there is a problem? - Maybe its for the women who are unhygenic and stay even more yukhy while they are on their period, I have heard a few girls dont take a shower etc so maybe they shouldn't touch the Quraan at all!

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Peace Ma Mooli,

I disagree b'coz in case if water is not available, a person can do 'Tayyamum' to perform his/her 'Salah'.

Peace JerryM,

They can read short dua's, do tasbeeh etc.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

Not even by heart? Any source, please?

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

I will try to find the source Mariah but I also request you to confirm from an Alim on this.

Re: Can women read the quran when na-paak

yes but the point is that the women cannot perform tayamum during her periods either...so thats irrelevant.
