The Ruling on Holding the Mushaf During Prayer

Question
What is the ruling on holding the Mushaf during prayer and reading from it? Is it permissible for a woman to recite aloud during prayer?
Answer
I say, and with God's help: It is disliked for a woman to recite aloud even if she is alone; because the basis of her prayer is modesty, and there is a disagreement regarding reading from the mushaf, whether it is invalid or disliked, so we should refrain from it, and God knows best.
