There is nothing wrong for women who are in menses or bleeding after childbirth to make Du`a, read the Quran (without touching the Mus-haf), or read books of Tafsir.

1- The majority of jurists say that a woman cannot read the Quran during her period until she is pure. However, some scholars say that it is permissible for a menstruating woman to recite the Quran. 2- As for touching the Quran during menses, the correct view is that it is forbidden to touch the mus-haf when one is in any kind of state of impurity.
