IslamQA: Laylatul qadr for menstruating women

Assalamu alaykum Wa rahmatullah. What does a woman in her Menses do in the last 10 nights in other not to miss a whole year of Laylatul qadr. Would supplication and recitation of the holy Quran (without touching it) suffice?

Alaikumassalam wa rahmatullah,

According to a fatwa by the Qatari Fatwa Authority, a menstruating woman has the option of reciting the Quran from memory, performing dhikr and performing supplication. A woman can also read the Quran (without touching it according to most opinions), and they can also read the Quran on a smartphone or computer (as discussed in this previous answer), or they can listen to it.
