In Jainism, there is no universal ban in the scriptures on a woman reading or reciting sutras during menstruation. For lay practitioners, listening to or reading devotional texts is generally considered a personal spiritual practice and is not restricted by menstruation in most communities.

However, there are differences in practice between traditions and among communities:

• Some ascetic rules and strict temple routines are more conservative about activities during menstruation, but these refer mainly to the behavior of monks and to temple rituals, not to the basic ability of a laywoman to read or recite.
• In daily life, many families and temples simply encourage cleanliness, respect for personal discipline, and following one’s own comfort level during the period.

If you are asking for guidance specific to your tradition (Digambar vs. Shwetambar) or for a particular temple’s norms, it’s best to consult your local Jain guru or community leader, as practices can vary by community and region.
