Summary
A menstruating woman is permitted to recite Quranic verses that serve as dhikr or supplication suited to the situation, such as the supplication for riding a vehicle, hearing thunder or facing a calamity, provided she intends it as dhikr or supplication and not as Quran recitation. Reciting the Quran with a dhikr intention without a relevant occasion is forbidden, for example reciting Surah al-Ikhlas upon a calamity, since that is not what is prescribed. This view follows Imam al-Nawawi in al-Majmuk.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, diharuskan wanita berhaid membaca zikir atau doa daripada ayat al-Quran dengan niat zikir atau doa sahaja dan bukan niat untuk membaca al-Quran.
