some scholars show proof that a woman in her menses can read the Quran. Ibn Taymiyah and al-Shawkani confirmed Ahmad and Malik proof as correct.

They gave backing to their proofs, these are the proofs below

PROOFS

  • In the times of the Prophet, the prophet of Peace, Women menstruated
  • Prophet Muhammad did not stop these women from readingh the Quran. he did not stop them from ptaying to Allah
  • Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyah said there is no clear hadith that a woman in her menses cannot read the Quran
  • The woman cannot control her condition, anyone in a  state of janabah can easily remove their hinderance through ghusl before prayer time,
  • A woman in her menses is privileged to read the Quran since she did not bring the condition upon herself
  •  It can deny her of her rewards. She can forget some things in the book of Allah for her guidance
  • Allah, (Glorified) commands Muslims to read and recite the Quran, He promised the obedient a good reward.  Allah exempts only those with solid evidence (dalil). There is no clear evidence against women in their period reading the Quran

There is a contrary idea that a woman in her menses is impure, that she is in a state of  jannabah

The evidences are more stronger than this idea, This means a woman can read the Quran in her menses

But, this begs the question if a woman can touch the Quran during menses
