بِسْمِ اللّٰہِ الرَّحْمٰنِ الرَّحِیْمِ
اَلْجَوَابُ بِعَوْنِ الْمَلِکِ الْوَھَّابِ اَللّٰھُمَّ ھِدَایَۃَ الْحَقِّ وَالصَّوَابِ
In the above-mentioned condition, the woman cannot recite Surah Al-Fatihah and Ayat-ul-Kursi during her monthly cycle for reciting the Wazifah to achieve her purpose because it is impermissible for the woman, having a monthly cycle, to recite the Holy Quran. However, it is allowed in two conditions:
1. Reciting (them) in a specific manner for giving education
2. Reciting blessed Quranic Ayahs consisting of Glory of Allah and Du’a only with the intention of Zikr and Du’a
