594. It was narrated that 'Abdullāh bin Salamah said: "I entered upon 'Ali bin Abu Tālib and he said: 'The Messenger of Allāh ﷺ used to go to the lavatory and relieve himself, then come out, and he would eat bread and meat with us and recite Qur'an, nothing stopped him' or perhaps he said: 'prevented him from doing so except sexual impurity.'" (Hasan)
594 - حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ بَشَّارٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا مُحَمَّدُ بْنُ جَعْفَرٍ قَالَ: حَدَّثَنَا شُعْبَةُ، عَنْ عَمْرِو بْنِ مُرَّةَ، عَنْ عَبْدِ اللَّهِ بْنِ سَلَمَةَ قَالَ: دَخَلْتُ عَلَى عَلِيِّ بْنِ أَبِي طَالِبٍ، فَقَالَ: " كَانَ رَسُولُ اللَّهِ صَلَّى اللهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ يَأْتِي الْخَلَاءَ، فَيَقْضِي الْحَاجَةَ، ثُمَّ يَخْرُجُ، فَيَأْكُلُ مَعَنَا الْخُبْزَ، وَاللَّحْمَ، وَيَقْرَأُ الْقُرْآنَ، وَلَا يَحْجُبُهُ - وَرُبَّمَا قَالَ: لَا يَحْجُزُهُ - عَنِ الْقُرْآنِ شَيْءٌ، إِلَّا الْجَنَابَةُ "

On the basis of proofs, it can be asserted that it is better to abstain from reciting the Qur'an when one is in a state of impurity, although there is no question about its permissibility. In our present times the problem frequently raises its head, especially in girls' schools, where the situation is this; at times it is the lady teacher, and at other times it is the girls that are faced with this problem. Considering all aspects of the matter it seems expedient to say that reciting the Qur'an in a state of impurity is undesirable although permissible in pressing circumstances. And Allāh knows best.
