Reciting Quraanic Verses In Haidh

· 20 Rabiʻ I 1448 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Q1) Can a woman read the Dua for unseen help (Surah 65, Ayat 2-3) while in a state of Haidh?

Q2) Is there any specific number of times one should read the Ayah in order to obtain maximum benefit?

Answer

A1) The verse of the Quraan Majeed that you are referring to is as follows:

Fuqaha (Jurists) state that it is not permissible to recite verses of the Quraan Majeed while in Haidh. However, if the verses are recited with the intention of Dhikr or Dua, then it will be permissible, with the proviso that the verses have the meaning of Dua in it. The verse cited in the query do not contain the meaning of Dua in it, hence, it will not be permissible to recite it while in Haidh.

A2) No specific number has been mentioned. You may recite it as many times you can manage.

وَلَوْ أَنَّهُ قَرَأَ الْفَاتِحَةَ عَلَى سَبِيلِ الدُّعَاءِ أَوْ شَيْئًا مِنْ الْآيَاتِ الَّتِي فِيهَا مَعْنَى الدُّعَاءِ وَلَمْ يُرِدْ بِهِ الْقِرَاءَةَ فَلَا بَأْسَ بِهِ (البحر الرائق 1/209)

فَحَاصِلُهُ أَنَّ التَّصْحِيحَ قَدْ اخْتَلَفَ فِيمَا دُونَ الْآيَةِ وَاَلَّذِي يَنْبَغِي تَرْجِيحُ الْقَوْلِ بِالْمَنْعِ لِمَا عَلِمْت مِنْ أَنَّ الْأَحَادِيثَ لَمْ تُفَصِّلْ وَالتَّعْلِيلَ فِي مُقَابَلَةِ النَّصِّ مَرْدُودٌ؛ لِأَنَّ شَيْئًا كَمَا فِي الْكَافِي نَكِرَةٌ فِي سِيَاقِ النَّفْيِ فَتَعُمُّ وَمَا دُونَ الْآيَةِ قُرْآنٌ فَيَمْتَنِعُ كَالْآيَةِ مَعَ أَنَّهُ قَدْ أُجِيبَ أَيْضًا بِالْأَخْذِ بِالِاحْتِيَاطِ فِيهِمَا وَهُوَ عَدَمُ الْجَوَازِ فِي الصَّلَاةِ وَالْمَنْعُ لِلْجُنُبِ وَمَنْ بِمَعْنَاهُ، وَيُؤَيِّدُهُ مَا رَوَاهُ الدَّارَقُطْنِيُّ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ – رَضِيَ اللَّهُ عَنْهُ – قَالَ اقْرَءُوا الْقُرْآنَ مَا لَمْ يُصِبْ أَحَدَكُمْ جَنَابَةٌ، فَإِنْ أَصَابَهُ فَلَا وَلَا حَرْفًا وَاحِدًا ثُمَّ قَالَ: وَهُوَ الصَّحِيحُ عَنْ عَلِيٍّ وَهَذَا كُلُّهُ إذَا قَرَأَ عَلَى قَصْدِ أَنَّهُ قُرْآنٌ، أَمَّا إذَا قَرَأَهُ عَلَى قَصْدِ الثَّنَاءِ أَوْ افْتِتَاحِ أَمْرٍ لَا يُمْنَعُ فِي أَصَحِّ الرِّوَايَاتِ وَفِي التَّسْمِيَةِ اتِّفَاقٌ أَنَّهُ لَا يُمْنَعُ إذَا كَانَ عَلَى قَصْدِ الثَّنَاءِ أَوْ افْتِتَاحِ أَمْرٍ كَذَا فِي الْخُلَاصَةِ وَفِي الْعُيُونِ لِأَبِي اللَّيْثِ (البحر الرائق 1/209)
