Question

Can a woman who is doing hifz, recite only the memorised portion of her hifz during her periods, so as to not forget it?

Answer

In the state of haiz, to recite any portion of the Qur'an is impermissible.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.

قوله ( بقصده ) فلو قرأت الفاتحة على وجه الدعاء أو شيئا من الآيات التي فيها معنى الدعاء ولم ترد القراءة لا بأس به كما قدمناه عن العيون لأبي الليث وأن مفهومه أن ما ليس فيه معنى الدعاء كسورة أبي لهب لا يؤثر فيه قصد غير القرآنية. (رد المحتار 1/ 290-293)
