YOGYAKARTA - The law of reading the Qur'an on a cellphone during menstruation may still be a question for Muslims. This issue stems from an opinion that says menstrual women are forbidden to touch the Qur'an.

The prohibition of menstrual women touching the Qur'an was explained by Muhammad Jawad Mughniyah in the book Al-Fiqh 'ala al-madzahib al-khamsah. He said, everything that was forbidden to June is also haram for menstrual women.

In his Fiqh Sunnah book, Syafi'iyyah cleric, Sayyid Sabiq, also explains that it is forbidden to read the Qur'an even though it is small. In the book Al-Wajiz fi Fiqh As-Sunnah Sayyid Sabiq, Syaikh Sulaiman Ahmad Yahya Al-Faifi explains, maybe what Sayyid Sabiq meant was reading the Qur'an while holding the Mushaf of the Qur'an.

Syaikh Sulaiman Ahmad Yahya Al-Faifi revealed that people who memorize the Qur'an are not forbidden to sing their memorization (without touching the prayer room), just like women who memorize the Qur'an who are menstruating. They can read their memorization without having to hold the Qur'an's mushaf.

Sayyid Sabiq also explained the opinion of Al-Bukhari, At-Thabrani, Abu Dawud, and Ibnu Hazm which allowed women to menstruate reading the Qur'an. Al-Bukhari said from Ibrahim, "It's okay for people who have menstruation to read verses of the Qur'an.'"

Ibnu Hajar commented on this opinion, "According to Bukhari, there is not a single hadith shahih that discusses this issue, namely the prohibition of reading the Qur'an for people who are citizens and women who are menstruating."

He continued, although all the hadiths who explained this problem were used as evidence by some people, basically, said Ibnu Hajar, the majority of these hadiths still contained various interpretations.

Women's menstruation is also allowed to read the Qur'an on their cellphones, as Syaikh Khalid Al-Musyaiqih explains in the book Fiqh An-Nawazilfil 'Ibadah, as quoted by Ninih Muthmainnah in the book There is Always A Way: 6 Solutions to Life of Faith People.

Syaikh Khalid Al-Musyaiqih argues that the cellphones in which the Qur'an application is installed or in the form of soft files, are not punished like the Qur'an prayer room which requires it to be sacred when touching it. Therefore, menstrual women can still read the Qur'an via cellphone.

"PHONEs like this can be touched even though they are not clean. However, to make it safer, the Al-Qur'an application in the cellphone is not touched in a holy state, it is enough to touch the edge of the cellphone," he explained.

In the book Fiqih Muslimah Practically by Hafidz Muftisany, it is also stated that he is allowed to read the Qur'an without touching the prayer room by leaning on the hadiths about Hajj and Umrah. narrated from Jabir bin Abdillah, the Prophet SAW said,

"Then perform the pilgrimage, and do what the hajj people do except for thawaf and prayers." (HR Bukhari and Muslim)

Dinarikam, ketika Rasulullah SAW menyabdakan hadith ini kepada Aisyah RA, dia SAW menyadari bahwa pelaksanaan haji akan banyak membaca ayat-ayat Al-Qur'an. Namun, perkara yang dilarang hanya thawaf dan salat.

In addition, there are scholars who explain the position of the digital Qur'an as well as the Al-Qur'an prayer room. According to this opinion, the law of reading the Koran on a cellphone while menstruating is still haram. One of the scholars who have such opinion is Buya Yahya. According to him, this prohibition applies if someone deliberately opens the Qur'an on a cellphone.

"There are two discussions about women. For women who are in an absolute state of menstruation, they must not touch the mushaf. The Mushaf is that the Qur'an has a sheet and also includes being punished with a mushaf is a deliberate cellphone by someone holding a cellphone to issue a program that contains the Qur'an and it can be seen reading, it's like people open the sheet," explained Buya Yahya in one of her lectures uploaded on YouTube Al-Bahjah TV.

That's a review of the law on reading the Koran on your cellphone during menstruation. Because this problem is still in the form of many interpretations for many ulama, you can follow one opinion according to your belief. However, if you are in doubt, it would be better if it was enough to perform zhik/wirid worship during menstruation period and be able to read the Koran again after menstruation period is over.
