Can women hold the Quran?
Approved answer
Answer:
Women are permitted to recite or read the Quran, whether from memory or by using the Quran mushaf (the physical book). However, scholarly consensus in fiqh holds that an individual who is in a state of impurity is not allowed to touch the Quran. This is supported by the verse from the Quran, which states: “None shall touch it except the purified” (Waqiah: 79).
