Question Detail:

First I'd like to thank you for answering my previous question which has helped me a lot. I have a question in regards to reading quran. Does the woman need to wear hijab while reading the quran itself and/or be covered while reading quran on a piece of paper, and reading the quran in English?

Answer :

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa rahmatullāhi wa barakātuh.
In principle, it is not necessary for a woman to cover her head while reading the Qur’ān.
However, to do so is a mark of respect. Allāh Ta‘ālā says:
ومن يعظم شعائر الله فإنها من تقوى القلوب
“Whosoever venerates the symbols of Allāh, then it is truly from the piety of the hearts.” (Qur’ān, 22:32)
While reciting the Qur’ān, one should bear in mind that he or she is communicating with Allāh Ta‘ālā, and hence should observe the utmost etiquette.[1] The practice of covering the head out of reverence for reading religious material has been recorded from the pious Salaf.[2]
And Allah Ta‘ālā Knows Best

[2] قال أبو بكر الأعين عن أبي سلمة الخزاعي: كان مالك بن أنس إذا أراد أن يخرج يحدت توضأ وضوءه للصلاة ولبس أحسن ثيابه ولبس قلنسوة ومشط لحيته فقيل له في ذلك فقال: أوقر به حديث رسول الله صلى الله عليه وسلم (تهذيب الكمال، مؤسسة الرسالة، ج ٢٧ ص ١١٠)
