Reciting Quraan during haidh
Question
My sister has a menstrual problem. She is memorising the Quran. Is it permissible for her to recite the Quran without touching it during her menses period?
Answer
No. In the menses it is not even permissible to recite the Qur'aan let alone touching it.
And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
