عَالَمِين AALAMIN Read the Qur'an in context

Does the Qur'an forbid reciting the Qur'an during a period?

In short

  • The text says: those addressed are told to recite, or read, of the Qur'an what is easy for them (73:20); of the Book, none touches it, or in Itani grasps it, but the purified (56:79); and of the period, the men are told to keep away from women until they are clean (2:222).
  • The text does not say: that a woman may not recite the Qur'an during her period; no verse joins reciting and the period.
  • The rest comes from: a report that a menstruating woman and one who is junub do not recite anything of the Qur'an is in Jami' at-Tirmidhi, Book 1: The Book on Purification (Tirmidhi 131), and another to the same effect is in Sunan Ibn Majah, Book 1: The Book of Purification and its Sunnah (Ibn Majah 595); a report that the Prophet recited the Qur'an leaning on Aisha's lap while she was menstruating is in Sahih al-Bukhari, Book 6: Menstrual Periods (Bukhari 297).

Where the renderings split

73:20, Itani: "So read of the Quran what is possible for you"

73:20, Pickthall: "Recite, then, of the Qur'an that which is easy for you"

73:20, Palmer: "So read what is easy of the Qur'an"

73:20, Rodwell: "Recite then so much of the Koran as may be easy to you"

73:20, Sale: "Read, therefore, so much of the Koran as may be easy unto you"

Key findingsEditorial

One finding for each passage this study carries, in the order the study reads them. Each is the reason that passage was signed into the study, in full and unedited - including, where the renderings disagree, the disagreement.

  1. 01 73:20 Recite, or read, of the Qur'an what is easy: the verse that speaks of how much to recite, with the sick named in it
  2. 02 56:79 The verse often brought to this question; it speaks of touching or grasping the Book, not of reciting it
  3. 03 2:222 The verse on menstruation, which says nothing of reciting
In plain wordsEditorial written by the editors, not a translation

Written by the editors. Not a translation, and not a source. It is an editorial restatement of the verses in this study and carries their name because someone has to answer for it.

The one verse here that speaks of how much to recite is 73:20, and it widens rather than narrows: at 73:20 Pickthall has "Recite, then, of the Qur'an that which is easy for you", and the verse names the sick, the traveller and the fighter among those for whom it is eased.

The verse readers most often bring to this question, 56:79, is about touching, not reciting. At 56:79 Itani has "None can grasp it except the purified" and Pickthall "Which none toucheth save the purified".

The period is named at 2:222, and nothing there concerns reciting.

So the rule many readers know is not in the text. Two reports outside the Qur'an say a menstruating woman does not recite it, and a third describes the Prophet reciting beside a woman in her period. They are named above, with links, and this study does not weigh them against one another.

not a scholar — what this signature means

I am not a scholar, and nothing here asks you to treat me as one. The plain words on this site are my restatement of what the five translations shown above say, together with counts derived from the text itself — nothing more. I sign them so that a named person is accountable for every sentence, not so you'll take my word for anything. The authority on this page is the text and its translators. If my words don't match theirs, mine are the ones that are wrong.

Scope of this study

This platform shows the verse, its easy-read line, its translations, a plain-words reading, and each verse among its neighbours. It does not supply occasion of revelation, interpretation (tafsir) or history, and it never invents them.

What this rests on

Opens with 73:20, widening across 3 passages in all.

Easy-read is a simplified pronunciation, not authoritative — a rule-by-rule romanisation, not a reading. Each verse ends in its pause form, as it is said when you stop there. Pauses inside a verse and other tajwid rules are not shown. It is derived from the Tanzil Simple edition, while the Arabic above is the Uthmani edition; both are cleared, but they are not the same edition and their orthography differs.

The versesSource fact 3 passages, each with every cleared translation

3 passages, chosen for this question and signed as part of it. Each carries the reason it is here, and each renders in full: the Arabic, then every cleared translation of that verse under its translator's name.

Each verse opens on the translation that comes first in the site's fixed order, which runs from the newest translation to the oldest. The order is not a preference. Open Compare translations on any verse to read the others.

Talal Itani published 2012

Your Lord knows that you stay up nearly two-thirds of the night, or half of it, or one-third of it, along with a group of those with you. God designed the night and the day. He knows that you are unable to sustain it, so He has pardoned you. So read of the Quran what is possible for you. He knows that some of you may be ill; and others travelling through the land, seeking God's bounty; and others fighting in God's cause. So read of it what is possible for you, and observe the prayers, and give regular charity, and lend God a generous loan. Whatever good you advance for yourselves, you will find it with God, better and generously rewarded. And seek God's forgiveness, for God is Forgiving and Merciful.

Mohammed Marmaduke William Pickthall published 1930

Lo! thy Lord knoweth how thou keepest vigil sometimes nearly two-thirds of the night, or (sometimes) half or a third thereof, as do a party of those with thee. Allah measureth the night and the day. He knoweth that ye count it not, and turneth unto you in mercy. Recite, then, of the Qur'an that which is easy for you. He knoweth that there are sick folk among you, while others travel in the land in search of Allah's bounty, and others (still) are fighting for the cause of Allah. So recite of it that which is easy (for you), and establish worship and pay the poor-due, and (so) lend unto Allah a goodly loan. Whatsoever good ye send before you for your souls, ye will find it with Allah, better and greater in the recompense. And seek forgiveness of Allah. Lo! Allah is Forgiving, Merciful

Edward Henry Palmer published 1880

Verily, thy Lord knows that thou dost stand up to pray nearly two-thirds of the night, or the half of it or the third of it, as do part of those who are with thee; for God measures the night and the day; He knows that ye cannot calculate it, and He turns relentant towards you. So read what is easy of the Qur'an. He knows that there will be of you some who are sick and others who beat about in the earth craving the grace of God, and others who are fighting in the cause of God. Then read what is easy of it and be steadfast in prayer, and give alms, and lend to God a goodly loan, for what ye send forward for yourselves of good ye will find it with God. It is better and a greater hire; and ask ye pardon of God: verily, God is forgiving, merciful

John Medows Rodwell published 1861

Of a truth, thy Lord knoweth that thou prayest almost two-thirds, or half, or a third of the night, as do a part of thy followers. But God measureth the night and the day: He knoweth that ye cannot count its hours aright, and therefore, turneth to you mercifully. Recite then so much of the Koran as may be easy to you. He knoweth that there will be some among you sick, while others travel through the earth in quest of the bounties of God; and others do battle in his cause. Recite therefore so much of it as may be easy. And observe the Prayers and pay the legal Alms, and lend God a liberal loan: for whatever good works ye send on before for your own behoof, ye shall find with God. This will be best and richest in the recompense. And seek the forgiveness of God: verily, God is forgiving, Merciful

George Sale published 1734

Thy Lord knoweth that thou continuest in prayer and meditation sometimes near two third parts of the night, and sometimes one half thereof, and at other times one third part thereof: And a part of thy companions, who are with thee, do the same. But God measureth the night and the day; he knoweth that ye cannot exactly compute the same: Wherefore He turneth favourably unto you. Read, therefore, so much of the Koran as may be easy unto you. He knoweth that there will be some infirm among you; and others travel through the earth, that they may obtain a competency of the bounty of God; and others fight in the defence of God's faith. Read, therefore, so much of the same as may be easy. And observe the stated times of prayer, and pay the legal alms; and lend unto God an acceptable loan; for whatever good ye send before for your souls, ye shall find the same with God. This will be better, and will merit a greater reward. And ask God forgiveness; for God is ready to forgive, and merciful

Zoti yt e di se ti falesh më pak se dy të tretat e natës, gjysmën e saj ose një të tretën e saj, e edhe një pjesë e atyre që janë me ty. Allahu e cakton gjatësinë e natës dhe të ditës. Ai e di se ju nuk do të keni mundësi ta bëni[1], prandaj lëshoi mëshirë mbi ju. Pra, lexoni çka t'ju vijë më lehtë nga Kurani. Ai e di se ndër ju do të ketë të sëmurë, të tjerë që udhëtojnë në tokë duke kërkuar mirësitë e Allahut dhe të tjerë që luftojnë në rrugën e Allahut, prandaj lexoni çka t'ju vijë më lehtë nga ai. Dhe faleni namazin, jepeni zekatin dhe jepni Allahut hua të mirë! Çfarëdo të mire që bëni për veten tuaj, do ta gjeni tek Allahu, madje edhe më të mirë e me shpërblim më të madh. Kërkoni faljen e Allahut, se, pa dyshim, Allahu është Falës i Madh e Mëshirëplotë.

Wahrlich, dein Herr weiß, dass du etwas weniger als zwei Drittel der Nacht (zum Gebet) aufstehst, oder die Hälfte oder ein Drittel davon, und (auch) ein Teil von denjenigen, die mit dir sind. Und Allah setzt das Maß der Nacht und des Tages fest. Er weiß, dass ihr es nicht erfassen würdet, so vergab Er euch. So lest (bei Nacht), was euch vom Quran leichtfällt. Er weiß, dass es unter euch Kranke geben wird und andere, die im Land umherreisen, wo sie nach (etwas) von der Huld Allahs trachten, und (wieder) andere, die auf dem Weg Allahs kämpfen. So lest davon, was euch leichtfällt, und verrichtet das Gebet und entrichtet die Pflichtabgabe und gebt Allah ein gutes Darlehen.

Πράγματι, ο Κύριός σου γνωρίζει ότι προσεύχεσαι για λίγο λιγότερο από τα δύο τρίτα της νύχτας, άλλοτε τη μισή νύχτα, και άλλοτε το ένα τρίτο της νύχτας, κι επίσης μία ομάδα απ' αυτούς που βρίσκονται μαζί σου (τους οπαδούς σου). Κι ο Αλλάχ ορίζει τη νύχτα και την ημέρα. Γνωρίζει ότι δε θα μπορούσατε να προσευχηθείτε ολόκληρη τη νύχτα, γι’ αυτό σας ανακουφίζει, και έτσι, απαγγείλτε αυτό που μπορείτε από το Κορ'άν (κατά τη νυχτερινή προσευχή). Γνωρίζει ότι θα υπάρχουν μερικοί από σας που είναι ασθενείς, άλλοι που ταξιδεύουν στη γη επιδιώκοντας τα αγαθά του Αλλάχ, κι άλλοι που πολεμούν στο Δρόμο του Αλλάχ. Έτσι, απαγγείλτε αυτό που μπορείτε από το Κορ'άν (κατά τις προσευχές σας), και τελέστε τις προσευχές και δώστε τη Ζακά (ετήσια υποχρεωτική ελεημοσύνη) και να δανείσετε στον Αλλάχ ένα καλό δάνειο (ξοδεύοντας από τα χρήματά σας για χάρη του Αλλάχ σε κάθε καλό δρόμο). Κι ό,τι καλό κάνετε (κατά την εγκόσμια ζωή σας, για να σας ωφελήσει κατά τη Μέλλουσα ζωή σας), σίγουρα θα το βρείτε με τον Αλλάχ, καλύτερο και μεγαλύτερο, ως αμοιβή. Και αναζητήστε συγχώρεση απ’ τον Αλλάχ. Στ’ αλήθεια, ο Αλλάχ είναι Γαφούρ (Αυτός που συγχωρεί τα πάντα) και Ραχείμ (Πολυεύσπλαχνος).

In verità il tuo Dio sa che in verità tu e una parte dei tuoi compagni vegliate meno di due terzi o metà della notte, o un terzo. E Allāh valuta la notte e il giorno, e sa che voi mai potrete farlo, per cui vi ha perdonato. Recitate ciò che potete del Corano: Lui sa che tra voi ci sono malati e altri che viaggiano per il mondo in cerca della Grazia di Allāh, e altri che lottano per amore di Allāh. Recitate ciò che vi è possibile e praticate la preghiera con devozione e osservate la «Zekēt» e fate ad Allāh un prestito generoso. E ciò che anticipate a favore vostro di opere buone, lo ritroverete presso Allāh: quello sarà migliore e una ricompensa molto più grande. E chiedete perdono ad Allāh. In verità Allāh è Perdonatore, Misericordioso.

20. Iš tiesų, tavo Viešpats (Muchammedai ﷺ ) žino, kad tu stovi (maldoje) beveik du trečdalius nakties arba puse jos, arba trečdalį jos, ir (taip pat) grupė tų, kurie su tavimi. Ir Allahas nustato naktį ir dieną (jų ilgumą). Jis žino, kad jūs (musulmonai) negalėsite to padaryti ir atsigręžė į jus su atlaidumu, tad recituokite tai, kas lengva (jums) iš Korano. Jis žino, kad bus tarp jūsų sergančių, ir kitų – keliaujančių po žemę ir ieškančių (kažko) iš Allaho dosnumo, ir kitų – kovojančių vardan Allaho. Tad recituokite tai, kas lengva iš Korano, ir atlikite Salat (Ikamat-as-salat), ir duokite zakat, ir suteikite Allahui gerą paskolą. Ir ką gero paruošite sau (t. y. Navafil neprivalomus garbinimo veiksmus: maldas, labdarą, pasninką, Hadžą ir Umrą) – rasite tai pas Allahą. Tai yra geriau bei didingiau atlygiu. Ir siekite Allaho atleidimo. Iš tiesų, Allahas yra Dažnai Atleidžiantis, Gailestingiausiasis.

Воистину, твой Господь знает, что ты выстаиваешь [в молитве] меньше двух третей ночи, половину её или треть её, а также часть тех, которые с тобой. Аллах распределяет меру ночи и дня. Он знает, что вы не сможете исчислить этого, и обратился к вам [с милостью]. Читайте же то, что вам доступно из Корана. Он знает, что среди вас будут больные, и другие, которые странствуют по земле, стремясь к милости Аллаха, и другие, которые сражаются на пути Аллаха. Читайте же то, что вам доступно из него. Выстаивайте молитву, выплачивайте закят и давайте Аллаху благой заём. А то доброе, что вы приготовите для себя заранее, вы найдёте у Аллаха — оно будет лучшим и большим по награде. Просите же у Аллаха прощения. Воистину, Аллах — прощающий, милующий.

Господар твој сигурно зна да ти клањајући проводиш мање од две трећине ноћи, њену половину, или њену трећину, а и група оних који су уз тебе. Аллах одређује дужину ноћи и дана, Он зна да ви то нећете моћи да издржите па вам прашта, а ви из Кур'ана учите оно што знате. Он зна да ће међу вама да буде болесних, и оних који ће по свету да путују, и Аллахове благодати да траже, и оних који ће на Аллаховом путу да се боре. Па учите из њега оно што је лако, и обављајте молитву, и дајте милостињу, и Аллаху леп зајам дајте! А добро које за себе унапред припремите наћи ћете код Аллаха да је још боље и са наградом већом.

Hakika Mola wako Mlezi anajua ya kuwa hakika wewe unakesha karibu na thuluthi mbili za usiku, na nusu yake, na thuluthi yake. Na baadhi ya watu walio pamoja nawe kadhalika. Na Mwenyezi Mungu ndiye anayeukadiria usiku na mchana. Anajua kuwa hamwezi kuweka hisabu, basi amekusameheni. Basi someni kilicho chepesi katika Qur-ani. Anajua ya kuwa baadhi yenu watakuwa wagonjwa, na wengine wanasafiri katika ardhi wakitafuta fadhila ya Mwenyezi Mungu, na wengine wanapigana katika Njia ya Mwenyezi Mungu. Kwa hivyo someni kilicho chepesi humo, na mshike Sala, na toeni Zaka, na mkopesheni Mwenyezi Mungu mkopo mwema. Na kheri yoyote mnayoitanguliza kwa ajili ya nafsi zenu mtaikuta kwa Mwenyezi Mungu, imekuwa bora zaidi, na ina thawabu kubwa sana. Na mtakeni msamaha Mwenyezi Mungu.

Din Herre vet att du står i bön något mindre än två tredjedelar av natten – och ibland hälften, och ibland en tredjedel – och så gör även några av dina följeslagare. Gud fastställer nattens och dagens längd. Han vet att ni inte kan fastställa den exakt, så han har lättat er börda. Läs därför ur Koranen det som ni enkelt klarar av. Han vet att några av er är sjuka, att somliga färdas i landet och söker Guds försörjning, och att andra strider på Guds väg. Läs därför det som ni enkelt klarar av och förrätta bönen och skänk [den obligatoriska] allmosan och ge Gud ett gott lån. Vilka goda handlingar ni än gör ska ni finna er lön hos Gud både bättre och rikligare. Be Gud om förlåtelse; Gud är ständigt förlåtande, barmhärtig.

Şüphesiz Rabbin biliyor ki, gerçekten sen gecenin üçte ikisinden daha azı ve (bazen) yarısı ve (bazen de) üçte biri kadar (namaz için) kalkıyorsun. Beraberinde bulunanlardan (ashâbından) bir topluluk da (böyle yapıyor). Geceyi ve gündüzü Allah takdir eder. O sizin, bunu sayamayacağınızı (buna güç yetiremeyeceğinizi) bildiği için sizi bağışladı. Öyleyse Kur’an’dan (bildiğiniz) kolayınıza geleni okuyun. İçinizden hasta olacakları, bir kısmınızın yeryüzünde dolaşıp Allah’ın rızkını arayacağını, diğerlerinin Allah yolunda savaşacağını da bilmektedir. Öyleyse ondan kolayınıza geleni okuyun, namazı ikame edin, zekâtı verin ve Allah’a güzel bir borç (ile borç) verin. Kendiniz için hayır olarak (dünyada) ne sunarsanız; onu Allah katında daha iyi, daha büyük bir mükâfat ile (karşılık verilmiş) bulursunuz. Allah’tan bağışlanma dileyin.

I pitaju te o mjesečnom pranju! Reci: "To je neprijatnost!" Zato, ne općite sa ženama za vrijeme mjesečnog pranja, i ne prilazite im dok se ne očiste! A kada se očiste, onda im prilazite onako kako vam je Allah naredio! Allah, doista, voli one koji se kaju i voli one koji se čiste.

და ისინი გეკითხებიან (ქალთა) მენსტრუაციის შესახებ. უთხარი (მათ): «ეს — ტანჯვაა». ამიტომ განერიდეთ ქალებს [ნუ გექნებათ მათთან სიახლოვე] მენსტრუაციის დროს და ნუ მიუახლოვდებით მათ, სანამ ისინი არ განიწმინდებიან. და როცა ისინი განიწმინდებიან [და შეასრულებენ დიდ განბანვას], მაშინ მიდით მათთან [გქონდეთ მათთან სიახლოვე] ისე, როგორც ალლაჰმა გიბრძანათ [დაგიდგინათ]. უეჭველად, ალლაჰს უყვარს ისინი, ვინც ხშირად ინანიებენ, და უყვარს განწმენდილნი.

Und sie fragen dich nach der Menstruation. Sag: „Sie ist ein Leiden.“ So haltet euch von den Frauen während der Menstruation fern, und nähert euch ihnen nicht, bis sie (wieder) rein sind. Wenn sie sich dann gereinigt haben, so kommt zu ihnen, wie Allah es euch angeordnet hat. Wahrlich, Allah liebt die Reumütigen, und Er liebt die, die sich rein halten.

Και σε ρωτούν (ω, Μωχάμμαντ) για την έμμηνο ρύση. Πες, «Είναι βλαβερή (για τον άνδρα αν έχει σεξουαλική επαφή με τη γυναίκα του κατά την έμμηνο ρύση της), οπότε αποφύγετε τη σεξουαλική επαφή με τις γυναίκες σας κατά την έμμηνο ρύση. Και μην έχετε σεξουαλική επαφή μαζί τους μέχρι να σταματήσει η έμμηνος ρύση τους και να κάνουν Γουσλ (Ιγτισάλ - πλήρες ντους). Και όταν το κάνουν, τότε μπορείτε να έχετε σεξουαλική επαφή μαζί τους, από εκεί όπου σας διέταξε ο Αλλάχ (δηλαδή μόνο από τον κόλπο). Στ’ αλήθεια, ο Αλλάχ αγαπά εκείνους που στρέφονται συχνά με μεταμέλεια (προς Αυτόν), καθώς αγαπά τους καθαρούς (που απέχουν από τις ακαθαρσίες και πλένονται συχνά κάνοντας Γουσλ ή Ουντού' -νίψη- για τις προσευχές τους).

तथा वे आपसे मासिक धर्म के विषय में पूछते हैं। आप कह दें : वह एक तरह की गंदगी है। अतः मासिक धर्म की स्थिति में औरतों से अलग रहो और उनके पास न जाओ, यहाँ तक कि वे पाक हो जाएँ। फिर जब वे (स्नान करके) पाक-साफ़ हो जाएँ, तो उनके पास आओ, जहाँ से अल्लाह ने तुम्हें अनुमति दी है। निःसंदेह अल्लाह उनसे प्रेम करता है जो बहुत तौबा करने वाले हैं और उनसे प्रेम करता है जो बहुत पाक रहने वाले हैं।

E ti chiedono del mestruo, di’: «Questo fa male: evitate le donne durante il mestruo, e non avvicinatele prima che siano purificate. E quando si saranno purificate, avvicinatele dal lato che vi ha ordinato Allāh; in verità Allāh ama i pentiti e ama i puri.”

222. Jie klausia tavęs apie menstruacijas. Sakyk: „Tai yra Adha (žalinga sutuoktiniui turėti intymius santykius su savo žmona, kol ji kraujuoja), taigi neturėkite intymių santykių su moterimis jų mėnesinių laiku tol, kol jos apsivalys (baigsis menstruacijos ir jos išsimaudys). O kai jos apsivalys, tada eikite į jas, kaip Allahas nurodė jums (įeiti į jas bet kokiu būdu kol tai yra pro jų vaginą). Iš tiesų, Allahas myli tuos, kurie atsigręžia į Jį atgailaudami, ir myli tuos, kurie apsivalo (išsimaudydami ir nusiprausdami savo intymias vietas bei kūnus maldoms).

Those invite you to the fire, but God invites you to paradise and pardon by His permission, and makes clear His signs to men; haply they may remember

They invite to the Fire; but God inviteth to Paradise, and to pardon, if he so will, and maketh clear his signs to men that they may remember

George Sale1734 Marry not women who are idolaters, until they believe: Verily a maid servant who believeth, is better than an idolatress, although she please you more. And give not women who believe, in marriage to the idolaters, until they believe; for verily a servant, who is a true believer, is better than an idolater, though he please you more.

What this study rests on, and what it refusessigned with it2 of the 2 paragraphs signed with this study

The selection above and this account of it are part of what was signed. Where the renderings disagree it says so; where the question runs past what has cleared the rights audit it says that too.

The question asks whether the Qur'an forbids reciting it during a period. The probe 'menstruat\w*|courses|menses' finds the period at 2:222, 2:228 and 65:4 only, and those of the three outside this study's set are recorded as not carried, and none of them speaks of reciting. The probe 'recite|read' with 'Qur.?an|Koran' in the same verse finds 73:20 among others; none of those names the period.

The wider question on 56:79 is read in the study What does the Qur'an say about purity before touching the text - and does this verse settle it?, and how much to recite in What does the Qur'an say about how much of it to recite in prayer? This study names three reports outside the Qur'an and does not grade them.

Studies that read the same verses

  1. Does the Qur'an forbid touching the Qur'an during a period?2:222, 56:79
  2. Does the Qur'an require a bath (ghusl) after a period?2:222
  3. What does the Qur'an say about cleanliness and purification?2:222
  4. Does the Qur'an say a woman can't cook or touch food during her period?2:222
  5. Does the Qur'an require reciting the Opening (al-Fatiha) in every prayer?73:20
