Question: Can a lady experiencing her Haidh (menses) recite Surah Fatiha?

Answer: As a general principle, a lady is not allowed to read or touch the Quraan while she is experiencing her menses.

However, she is allowed to read selected portions of the Quraan (without touching it) such as Ayatul Kursi, Surah Fatiha, Three Quls (Surah Ikhlas, Surah Falaq and Surah Nas), etc, as a form of Dua, Dhikr and for protection.
فلو قرات الفاتحة على وجه الدعاء او شيئا من الايات التي فيها معنى الدعاء ولم ترد القراءة لا باس به ( رد المحتار ج1 ص 293)
And Allah Knows Best
