[ Opinions of scholars on reciting the Qur’an when one is in a state of ritual impurity ]
(Check the original text in Arabic ...)


Sharia scholars differed regarding this. Some of the people prohibited reading the Qur’an for a person in a state of ritual impurity, with or without limits, and some people permitted it. As for my heir, he should not recite the Qur’an in a state of ritual impurity, following the example of the one who inherited it. You have had a good example in the Messenger of God, and nothing prevented him from reciting the Qur’an. It is not impurity, but what is most likely in my view from the presumption of the situation is that he disliked mentioning God next unless he was completely pure, for he performed tayammum to return the greeting and said, “I dislike mentioning God except in purity,” or he said, “imperfect purity.”
Among the people are those who permit the impurity person to read the Qur’an with a limit. And without limit, and I say without limit as well, but I hate it, following the example of the Messenger of God, may God bless him and grant him peace.
