Assalamalikum,
When women go through their seven days monthly period or when they are in napaak condition, can they touch or read books on hadis for ex: books on autobiographies of our holy prophets ? Can they do jikir during this time or recite duroode shariff and can they apply mehendi on their hands or hair since mehendi is considered to be paak. Also can women apply mehendi on their feet even if they are in paak condition since our Huzoore Pak ( SAW) (PBUH) used to apply mehendi on his beard ?
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.
1. It is permissible for a woman to read or touch any other book except the Holy Quran during her menses.[1] It is permissible for her to read or touch the books of Hadith and autobiographies.
However, in these books, wherever there is a verse of the Quran, it will be impermissible for her to touch that area.[2]
2. A woman is permitted to do zikr and recite Durood in the state of impurity.[3]
3. It is permissible for a woman to apply mehndi on her hands, hair and feet in the state of purity and impurity.
And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
