Yes. In the Murtipujak Shwetambar tradition, laity are generally allowed to read sutras, especially for svadhyaya (self-study), learning, and devotion.

A few important points:

• Commonly read by householders: texts like prayers, stotras, and selected sutras are often read by laity.
• Guidance is respected: difficult Agamic texts are usually studied with proper guidance from a guru, acharya, or learned teacher.
• Sacred manner: sutra reading should be done with cleanliness, reverence, proper pronunciation, and devotion.
• Some recitation practices may be restricted: certain liturgical or advanced recitations are traditionally handled by monks or qualified teachers, depending on local custom and lineage.

So, the simple answer is: Yes, Murtipujak Jains do allow laity to read sutras, especially for study and devotion, though the manner and level of access may vary by tradition and guidance.
