Question:
Dear Hajjah Naziha, Assalamu alaykum,
May I first of all apologise for still not being clear about this matter? I am sorry, but I need to know:
during my period is it ok to do zikr of
1. Hasbun Allah Rabbun Allah and
2. Hasbun Allah wa naim Al Wakeel and of
3. The Asma Al Husna and
4. Salawat?
May Allah forgive us all and grant us ease in this world and in the next. Aameen. Salams and heartfelt thanks.
Answer:
wa `alaykum salam,
You may do all of them, insha-Allah. “You may recite the Quran from memory but you may not touch the Holy Quran and read from it” as Mawlana Shaykh Muhammad Hisham Kabbani said in the Post “Recitation of Quran, dhikr, salawat in menses” and additionally:
“If you want to recite Quran however, you are permitted… You can even do salat `ala an-Nabi (praise of the Prophet) without wudu. ..there is rukhsa, you can make dhikr and laa ilaaha ill ‘Llah if you don’t have wudu.”
