The Sweetness of Faith Lies in the Fruits of Knowledge
My Purity and the Qur’an

Use the following chart as a quick reference
| Type | Description | Can I recite from memory? | Can I touch a mushaf? | Comments |
|---|---|---|---|---|
| Menstruation | The periodic blood that flows as a discharge from womens body | Ok according to stronger opinion. | No |
|
| Janaba | The state of a person after sexual discharge, whether it was due to intercourse, an erotic dream or anything else | No | No | You can touch a mushaf (a copy of the Qur'an -- more Arabic then anything else) if there's something in between you and it, such as a cloth |
| Minor Impurity | The state of a person after wudoo is broken | Yes | No | There is another opinion that allows touching a mushaf in this state |
There are differences of opinion in some of these issues. I encourage everyone to study the evidences in details.
Want to know the differences between different fluid discharges and their rulings? Inshallah in the next post, we will provide a summary of these rulings. Stay tuned!

“May read Qur’an from the computer screen”
Thenoblequran dot com is an excellent resource for this, mashaaAllah.
