Summary
A menstruating woman is forbidden to write Quranic verses if she touches or carries the page or mushaf while writing. If she does not touch the page, Shafi'i scholars differ, and this explanatory article leans towards the view that permits it on condition that she does not touch the sheet or the mushaf. The article also notes that the writing must be assessed for whether it takes the ruling of a mushaf, based on scholars' definitions of the term. Under one definition it cites, part of the Quran written on a sheet is also ruled as a mushaf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Maka dalam hal ini, kami cenderung kepada pendapat yang mengharuskannya iaitu harus bagi wanita yang sedang haid menulis ayat al-Quran dengan syarat tidak menyentuh lembaran ataupun mushaf.
