What was narrated to me by a group from Abu Muhammad Harun bin Musa, from Ahmad bin Muhammad bin Sa'id, from Ali bin Al-Hasan, and Ahmad bin Ubdun from Ali bin Muhammad bin Al-Zubayr, from Ali bin Al-Hasan, from Abdul Rahman bin Abi Najran, from Hammad bin Isa, from Hariz, from Zurara and Muhammad bin Muslim, from Abu Ja'far عليه السلام, who said: I asked Imam عليه السلام: 'Can a menstruating woman or someone in the state of janabah (major ritual impurity) recite anything?' Imam عليه السلام said: 'Yes, as much as they wish, except for the (Ayat al-Sajdah[3], verses requiring) prostration. They may remember Allah سبحانه وتعالى, the Exalted, in all circumstances.'
