from Darul Uloom Abu Bakr, of Port Elizabeth, South Africa
Q: Can a person read Quran without a cap? What is the ruling 4 men and women?
A: The Ulema have mentioned that among the aadaab or ettiquette of Quran recitation one is to cover the head. So though it is permissible to read Quran with the head open, it is makrooh (disapproved) because this is contrary to respect.
For a woman it is not permissible to recite Quran with the head and hair uncovered. This law will be stricter in the case of woman, as is the case in salah. A man's salaah is makrooh but valid if he does not wear a cap (topi). However, the woman's salaah is not valid at all if she performs salaah without head and hair covered. The same principle will apply to Quran reading.

Er that is not correct. Women can recite the Quran just fine without covering their heads! It's risky going to there website for relgious rulings because they are not backed up by any evidence whatsoever. They should provide one hadith (saying of the Prophet) at the very least!
Thank you, hayah, for your comment. I appreciate your point that they should provide some evidence besides just a seemingly personal opinion when making statements that sound like broad rules for faith.
It is always important to read wisely when researching religious rules and matters of faith!
