Question: Just as it is prohibited to touch the Quran during menstruation, is it also prohibited to touch a book like “Panj Surah,” which contains both Quranic verses and Urdu text, or Arabic text? Should such a book also not be touched during menstruation?
Answer: A woman is prohibited from touching the Quran directly during menstruation, though she can hold the Quran while wearing gloves. As for a book that is not purely the Quran, there is no harm in touching or handling it during menstruation, even if it contains Quranic verses or Hadith. Regarding “Panj Surah,” it is typically used by those who promote bid’ah (innovations in religion) and includes various superstitious practices using Quranic verses and Hadith for solving problems. A Muslim should not keep such books in their home. Instead, keep the Quran, a reliable translation or tafsir based on the Salafi methodology, or books of authentic prayers and supplications based on the Quran and Sunnah.
