Question:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

Is it permissible for a woman during her menstruation (haid<\/em><\/a>) to perform Sujud At-Tilawah<\/em> (Prostration of Recitation)?<\/span><\/p>\n

Answer:<\/span><\/strong><\/span><\/p>\n

In the name of\u00a0Allah<\/a>, We praise Him, seek His help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide, and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright.<\/span><\/p>\n

When a woman is allowed to recite the Qur’an, she is permitted to do the Sujud At-Tilawah (Prostration of Recitation), whether she listens to it or recites it.\u00a0 The most correct view is that it is permissible for a woman to recite from memory, but not from the Mushaf<\/em> (hard copy of the Qur’an), and she is permitted to prostrate, because it is not a Salah (prayer), but a way of showing submissiveness to Allah and an act of worship.<\/span><\/p>\n

It is not conditional for a person to be in a state of taharah<\/em> (ritual purification) to perform Sujud At-Tilawah<\/em> or Sujud AshShukr<\/em> (Prostration of Thankfulness), because they do not have the same ruling of Salah.\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n
