Summary
A woman in her menstrual period commits no wrongdoing by cutting her nails or hair, though the act is disliked and considered makruh. Reciting the Quran silently in the heart during menstruation is also not wrong. What is forbidden is recitation that the reciter can hear for themselves.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tidak menjadi kesalahan bagi seorang yang sedang haid memotong kuku atau rambut. Perbuatan itu tidak disukai dan hukumnya makruh.
