Answered by Ustadha Shazia Ahmad
Question
Are we allowed to hold and recite the Quran which has a translation without wudu?
Answer
Thank you for your question.
Please see your answer here:
Touching and carrying a copy of the Qur’an without wudu
It says in the Reliance of the Traveller, e8.2:
“[…] It is permissible to carry books of Sacred Law, hadith, or Koranic exegesis which contain Koran, provided that most of their text is not Koran (O: because the non-Koranic part is the purpose, though this is unlawful if half or more is Koran)[…].“
May Allah give you the best of this world and the next.
