AL-KAFI #299 : HUKUM MENYENTUH SURAH YASIN KETIKA BERHAID
Is a woman during menstruation allowed to touch Surah Yasin?
Short answer
The ruling depends on the form of the text. If it is only the Arabic text of Surah Yasin without commentary or translation, the fatwa leans toward the view that a menstruating woman may not touch it, to avoid juristic disagreement and for greater peace of mind.

Summary
The ruling depends on the form of the text. If it is only the Arabic text of Surah Yasin without commentary or translation, the fatwa leans toward the view that a menstruating woman may not touch it, to avoid juristic disagreement and for greater peace of mind. If it comes with translation and explanation so that non-Quranic writing predominates, touching it is permitted because it is not considered a pure mushaf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Saya cenderung kepada pendapat bahawa tidak dibolehkan perempuan berhaid memegangnya sekalipun hanya dianggap satu bahagian daripada al-Quran.
