Question

if the surah was long for example Tabaraka when she goes to bed? JazakumLLAHU khayran.

Answer

It is Haraam for a lady who is menstruating to recite the Qur'aan Shareef with the intention of Tilaawat. However, she is only permitted to recite those verses that contain the meanings of Du'aa (supplication) with the intention of making Du'aa, not with the intention of making Tilaawat (reciting) the Qur'aan.

In the example quoted, it will not be permissible to recite Surah Tabaarak since it does not contain the meaning of Du'aa.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
