Q: I wanted to know in the days of menses if women can read Masnoon Duas and Durood Sharif. I know that we cannot touch or recite the Qur’an but some people say that you can recite Masnoon Dua's and Durood Sharif.
A: Women in menses are permitted to recite Masnoon Duas. They are also permitted to recite Duas that are mentioned in the Holy Qur’an, provided that they recite these Duas with the intention of making a Dua and not with the intention of Tilawat (recitation). Further recitation of Durood Sharif and other Azkaar is encouraged during menses.
