Ibn Bazz: Ruling on reciting the Qur'an by a Junub, a menstruating or postpartum woman

Ruling on reciting the Qur'an by a Junub, a menstruating or postpartum woman 

Q: Since the Qur'an is on the curriculum at our girls' faculty, we are required to memorize one Juz' (a 30th of the Qur'an). Sometimes, the exam time coincides with our menstrual periods. Therefore, is it permissible for us to write down the Ayahs (Qur'anic verses) on a piece of paper so that we can memorize them? A: According to the most correct of the two views held by scholars, it is permissible for a menstruating or postpartum woman to recite the Qur'an,

since there exists no evidence to support prohibition. However, the recitation should be made verbally without holding or even touching the Mus­haf (Arabic Qur'an). It is permissible for them when necessary to hold the Mus­haf with a screen, i.e. a piece of pure cloth or something of the sort, or the paper on which Ayahs of the Qur'an are written down. 

Those who are in a state of Janabah (major ritual impurity related to sexual discharge) are not allowed to recite the Qur'an even verbally until they have first performed Ghusl (ritual bath following major ritual impurity). This ruling is based on an authentic Hadith which is emphatic on the prohibition of reciting the Qur'an when in a state of Janabah. The case of a menstruating or postpartum r woman does not apply to the Junub. The reason is that while menstruation or postpartum period may last for quite a number of days, the Junub can remove the state of Janabah at any time after the sexual intercourse is over. 

Allah alone grants success.
