According to the Maliki school, it is permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Qur’an absolutely, whether she has memorized it or not, because she does not possess her purity. It is also permissible for a menstruating woman to recite from a tablet (lawh), and she is not forbidden from touching it if she is a teacher or a student.
