Can a Menstruating Woman Touch the Quran or Recite it in Maliki Fiqh?

|

A woman on hayd may recite the Quran from memory or from a non-mushaf, such as a phone or tablet.

If she is a teacher or student of the Quran, she may touch the Quran.

When the hayd ends, these exceptions are lifted and she cannot touch nor recite until a ghusl is taken.

An important condition: if she combines between janaba and hayd, the janaba rules would override the hayd rules and these exceptions would not apply; she cannot recite nor touch the mushaf.

And Allah knows best.

الْحَائِضَ إذَا كَانَتْ جُنُبًا وَاغْتَسَلَتْ حَالَ الْحَيْضِ مِنْ الْجَنَابَةِ ثُمَّ انْقَطَعَ الْحَيْضُ فَهَلْ يَجُوزُ لَهَا الْقِرَاءَةُ قَبْلَ الْغُسْلِ مِنْ الْحَيْضِ أَوْ لَا؟ فَعَلَى الْمَشْهُورِ تُمْنَعُ مِنْ الْقِرَاءَةِ، وَتَجُوزُ لَهَا الْقِرَاءَةُ عَلَى مُقَابِلِهِ…(قَوْلُهُ: وَمَسُّ مُصْحَفٍ) أَيْ مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ مُعَلِّمَةً أَوْ مُتَعَلِّمَةً وَإِلَّا جَازَ مَسُّهَا لَهُ…والْمُعْتَمَدُ مَا قَالَهُ عَبْدُ الْحَقِّ وَهُوَ أَنَّ الْحَائِضَ إذَا انْقَطَعَ حَيْضُهَا لَا تَقْرَأُ حَتَّى تَغْتَسِلَ جُنُبًا كَانَتْ أَوْ لَا.
