Question

Asalamualaikum Wa Rahmatullahi Wa Barakatuhu

Hope you are keeping well inshaAllah

I had a quick question relating to impermissability during a woman's period. I really enjoy art and calligraphy projects. I know one cannot touch the Holy Quran during ones period but I wanted to know whether it would be permissible to work on a project where I touch the name of Allah SWT written in Arabic (so basically to touch a piece of paper that says Allah, Ar- Rahman, and Ar-Rahim in Arabic)?

JazakAllahkhair!

May Allah SWT reward your entire team abundantly Ameen

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

Yes, it is permissible, but better not to do so. [i]

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
