Can a menstruating woman touch the holy Qur’an?
According to Hanafi, Shafi›i, and Hanbali schools and to the dominant opinion of Maliki school, it is not permissible for menstruating women to touch the Holy Qur’an. On this subject, they generally use as evidence the verses “Indeed, it is a noble Qur’an. In a Register well-protected, none touch it except the purified. [It is] a revelation from the Lord of the worlds.” (Waqi’ah, 56/77-80), the hadith narrative of “No one but clean people touch Qur’an.” (Muwatta, Qur’an, 1) which is stated in the letter written by Prophet Muhammad (saw) to Amr ibn Hazm, as well as the narrations about his prohibiting junub and menstruating people to touch the Qur’an in the letters he wrote to some communities (Sarakhsi, al-Mabsut, III, 152) (Aliyy al-qari, Fath Bab al-Inayah, I, 142; Mawardi, al-Hawi, I, 384; Rafii, al-‘Aziz, I, 293; Ibn Qudamah, al-Mughni, I, 202-203; Ibn Qudamah, al-Maqdisi, al-Kafi, I, 135; Qarafi, al-Zahira, I, 378).
