Assalamu alaikum wa rahmatullahi wa barakatuhu alhamdulillah wa salatu wa salamu ala Rasulillah

wa ala aalihi wa sahbihi wa min wa l-ahmabadi.

Welcome to another Tuesday's episode of Q&A and today insha'Allah we'll begin with a question

from sister Nadi from South Africa, insha'Allah, she emails saying that she has been taught

from her local olemah that she should not recite the Qur'an during her monthly cycle.

Yet she says that she's logging online and she's seeing fatawa from other scholars in other

countries stating that women can recite the Qur'an during the mences and she says that

she is memorizing the Qur'an and sometimes her cycle lasts for many many days more than

a week and so her memorization and her review is cut off.

So she emails asking can you explain what are the positions of the scholars regarding

reciting the Qur'an for the lady during her monthly cycle.

Now this issue is one that we have to deal with with multiple factors.

I want to begin by stating that sister Nadi you're emailing me saying that your local

scholars are saying one thing and my general philosophy and position is that a Muslim

should stick with the scholarly consensus within one's own area and that is the best thing

to do.

To walk the boat it's not healthy to have positions that are outside of completely unknown

in your community as long as they're mainstream views obviously and this position that you

have been taught, it is a valid and correct one.
