Q:
1. Can a woman in haiz/nifaas read last 2 ayahs of Sura Baqara and first 10 ayahs of Sura Kahaf with the niyyah of dua for protection?
2. Can she also read other duas while holding a dua book like munajat e maqbool in her hand?
A:
1. In these two verses recite only the wordings of du`aa. And the first 10 aayats of Surah Kahf are not wordings of du`aa. Only the last of the ten “Rabbaa aatina milladunka . . . ” is a du`aa.
2. Yes.
And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
