Meaning: Qur’anic recitation is not permitted for a menstruating person or one in major ritual impurity.

This is the Hanafi legal ruling on recitation with the intention of Qur’anic tilawah. Jurists differentiate that from ordinary supplication or dhikr using wording also found in the Qur’an, depending on intention and usage.
