Muhtaram / Muhtaramah
In the Name of Allāh, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāh wa-barakātuh.
It is not permissible for women to read the Quran majeed even though it may be for “exam purposes”.
If a women is experiencing her haidh then she should consult with her mu’allima(female educator) and further adjustments should be made.
