    Bismillah hir-Rahman nir-Rahim !

    (Fatwa: 749/264/TL=1432) It is absolutely prohibited to recite the Quran while in menstruation whether the Quran is recited by carrying in hands or verbally. A menstruating woman can touch Islamic books, read as well as read out for others. She even can read a wazifa or dua written therein, but she will have to avoid reciting the Quranic verses only. Yes, if the Quranic verses are recited as dua, it is also allowable.
