A menstruating woman entering the Masjid and reading Qur'an from the Mus-haf

Q 1: Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to enter the Masjid (mosque), hold the Mus-haf (copy of the Qur'an) and read from it?

A: It is permissible for a menstruating woman to enter a Masjid to pass through or fetch something from it without staying there, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) forbade this. It is not permissible for her to hold the Mus-haf without a barrier, because the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: None should touch the Qur'an except one who is Tahir (ritually pure). May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
