Question:

Is it permissible for a woman in menses to supplicate and other women behind her to say "Aameen"?
Answer:

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad is His slave and Messenger. We ask Allaah to exalt his mention as well as that of his family and all his companions.

 

There is no harm for a woman in menses to supplicate and other women behind her to say "Aameen", and there is no harm if she mentions any Quranic verses in her supplication if she intends supplicating by uttering them. However, there is a difference of opinion among the scholars may Allaah have mercy upon them with regard to a woman in menses reading the Quran. The most preponderant opinion is that it is permissible for her to read the Quran as there is no clear evidence which prohibits her from doing so, nonetheless, she should read without touching the Quran with her hands.

Allaah Knows best.
