حَدَّثَنَا يَعْلَى، حَدَّثَنَا عَبْدُ الْمَلِكِ، عَنْ عَطَاءٍ فِي الْمَرْأَةِ الْحَائِضِ: أَتَقْرَأُ ؟، قَالَ: "لَا، إِلَّا طَرَفَ الْآيَةِ وَلَكِنْ تَوَضَّأُ عِنْدَ وَقْتِ كُلِّ صَلَاةٍ، ثُمَّ تَسْتَقْبِلُ الْقِبْلَةَ وَتُسَبِّحُ وَتُكَبِّرُ وَتَدْعُو اللَّهَ عَزَّ وَجَلَّ".
Ata’ (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked about a menstruating woman: Can she recite (the Qur’an)? He replied: No, she may recite a phrase or two, but at every prayer time she should perform ablution, then sit facing the qiblah and recite tasbih and takbir, and supplicate to Allah, the Mighty and Majestic.
