Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Sistani (may God protect him):
A menstruating woman is allowed to read everything except for the verses of obligatory prostration. The dislike of reading the Quran for a menstruating woman beyond seven verses is not firmly established, and if it is considered, it only means a decrease in reward.

Grand Ayatollah Sayyid Khamenei (may God protect him):
Aside from the verses of prostration from the Surahs that are prohibited for a menstruating woman to read, it is disliked for her to read the Quran outside of prayer times.
