What Are The Things Women Cannot Do In Her Menses?

Question: 

What are the things women cannot do in her menses?

Answer:

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

 As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

In the state of menses it is not permissible for a woman to:

1)     Touch the Qurān.

2)     Recite the Qurān.

3)     Enter in the masjid.

4)     Perform Tawāf.

5)     Offer Salaah.

There is a difference between the touching the Qurān and reciting the Qurān.

Reciting is impermissible as mentioned above. However, touching the Qurān with such a cloth that is not attached to the hand, for example, handkerchief, etc, will be permissible.

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
