Hajj

Can women recite, while menstruating, the supplications from books that contain supplications from the Qur’an and Hadith on the plain of Arafat?

Yes, she may. This is because a person who becomes ritually impure due to sexual intercourse or a wet dream can, whenever they wish, perform ghusl and become pure within moments. However, becoming pure from menstruation or postnatal bleeding is not within a person’s control. It is in Allah’s hands and requires time. Therefore, it is permissible for women experiencing menstruation or postnatal bleeding to recite these supplications from the Qur’an and Hadith.
