Question:
You say: Is it permissible to touch a Qur'an translated into a foreign language without performing wudu'?
Answer:
Yes, this is a book of tafsir (exegesis); it is not a mushaf (written copy of the Qur'an). This is a book of tafsir, meaning a translation of the meanings of the Qur'an, or a translation of the tafsir of the Qur'an. This is a book of tafsir, and there is no harm in touching it while in a state of ritual impurity, just like other books. Only the mushaf is that which may not be touched except while in a state of ritual purity.
