Q 7:
Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to do the Sujud-ul-Tilawah (Prostration of Recitation) and the Sujud-ul-Shukr (Prostration of Thankfulness to Allah)?
If it is not permissible, can she glorify Allah verbally (by saying: "Subhana Allah [Glory be to Allah]") when hearing Ayat-ul-Sujud (Qur’anic verses of Prostration)?
A:
Firstly:
When a woman is allowed to recite the Qur'an, she is permitted to do the Sujud-ul-Tilawah, whether she listens to it or recites it. (Part No. 7; Page No. 263) The soundest opinion is that it is permissible for a woman to recite from memory, but not from the Mus-haf (copy of the Qur'an), and she is permitted to prostrate, because it is not a Salah (prayer), but a way of showing submissiveness to Allah and an act of worship, like Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah).
Secondly:
It is not conditional for a reciter or a listener to be in a state of Taharah (ritual purification) to perform Sujud-ul-Tilawah or Sujud-ul-Shukr, because they do not have the same ruling of Salah.May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
