Can A Menstruating Lady Read The Translation of The Quraan?

DAILY FIQH

Question: Can a lady menstruating lady read the translation of the Noble Quraan?

Answer: A menstruating lady is not allowed to read or touch the translation of the Noble Quraan. 

يمنع صلاة وصوماً وقراءة القران  ومسه ولو مكتوباً بالفارسية في الأصح [ بفتاوي الشامي ج١ ص٢٩٣]

و يجب السجود على من تلا اية... و لو تلاها بالفارسية اتفاقا فهم او لم يفهم لكونها قرانا من وجه.

 و قال الطحطاوي: (قوله:لكونها قرانا من وجه) أي نظرا للمعنى دون وجه نظرا للنظم, فباعتبار المعنى توجب السجدة و باعتبار النظم لا توجبها فتجب احتياط

[حاشية ا لطحطاوي مع مراقي الفلاح]

Duas For Sajdah Tilawah

Question: What Duas should one read when making Sajdah Tilawah?

Answer:  You may read one of three Duas:

Option One

 سبحان ربي الأعلى

“Glory be to my Lord Most High, glory be to my Lord Most High” [Abu Dawood]

Option Two:

سَجَدَ وَجْهِي لِلَّذِي خَلَقَهُ وَشَقَّ سَمْعَهُ وَبَصَرَهُ بِحَوْلِهِ وَقُوَّتِهِ

“My face prostrates itself to the one who created it and brought forth its hearing and seeing by His might and power.” [Sunan Abu Dawood]

Option Three

اللَّهُمَّ اكْتُبْ لِي بِهَا عِنْدَكَ أَجْرًا وَضَعْ عَنِّي بِهَا وِزْرًا وَاجْعَلْهَا لِي عِنْدَكَ ذُخْرًا وَتَقَبَّلْهَا مِنِّي كَمَا تَقَبَّلْتَهَا مِنْ عَبْدِكَ دَاوُدَ

“O Allah! Record for me, a reward with You for it, remove a sin for me by it, and store it away for me with You, and accept it from me as You accepted it from Your worshiper Dawood.”[Tirmidhi]

One may read any of the above Duas

Making-up Missed Sajdah Tilawahs

Question: Over the years I have been reciting the Noble Quraan without really making Sajdah Tilawah. How do I make amends? 

Answer: Make an estimation on how many Sajdah Tilawahs you have outstanding. This can be calculated by considering the average amount of Quraan you have been accustomed to reading. 

Once you have reached a figure, write it in your Islamic Will and make a bequest that if you pass away, Fidya should be paid for it. Now begin by making Sajdah Tilawah in what ever free time you have.

The procedure is as follows: In the state of Wudhu, facing the Qiblah, from either a standing or sitting position, a person says: 'Allahu Akbar' (without raising the hands) and goes down into Sajdah. In Sajdah the person will read 'Subhaana Rabbiyal A'ala' three times. Then he will raise from Sajdah saying; 'Allahu Akbar'. The Sajdah Tilawah will be complete. (There is no Salaam.) Several Sajdah Tilawah can be made one after the other. 

Sajdatut Tilawat is prohibited whilst the sun is rising, precisely at noon, and from the time the colour of the sun changes before sunset until the sun has fully set.

If a Marhoom did not fulfill missed Wajib Sajdah Tilawah, there will be no Fidya. The family of the Marhoom should make Istigfaar on behalf of the Marhoom.
