Reciting Ayat-ul-Kursi during menses
Question 2:
What have Islamic scholars ruled on the following issue? Are Islamic sisters allowed to recite Ayat-ul-Kursi during menses?
بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ وَسَلَّم
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
Answer :
During menses, Islamic sisters are allowed to recite Ayat-ul-Kursi with the intention of making Zikr and Sana [i.e. remembering and glorifying the Almighty] without intending to recite the Holy Quran. Those who are required to make Ghusl as well as those experiencing menses are allowed to recite such verses of the Holy Quran which consist of Zikr, Sana, Du’a and Munajat a without intending to recite the Holy Quran with the intention of making Zikr, Sana and Du’a. However, if she is among those who know that she is experiencing menses, it is not appropriate to recite the verses aloud even with the intention of Zikr and Sana. This care should be taken in case they consider recitation of the Quran to be permissible in the state of menses or even though they do consider recitation of the Quran impermissible in this state but they might falsely accuse the reciting one of sin.
