Summary
A menstruating female student is permitted to write Quranic verses when there is a particular need, such as writing the verses that will be tasmik (presented to the teacher for hearing and checking) under the syllabus of a tahfiz school. This is based on analogy with reciting the Quran during menstruation, since reciting is considered a weightier act than writing. Even so, it is better to avoid the difference of opinion where possible, for example by arranging the schedule well.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
