The questioner : Is a book translating the meanings of the Noble Qur'an into English considered a mushaf or not?

The Shaykh : Yes.

The questioner : Is a book translating the meanings of the Qur'an into English considered a mushaf?

The Shaykh : No, it is not a mushaf.

The questioner : Okay, and is it permissible for a menstruating woman to touch it and read it for benefit? Is it permissible for a menstruating woman to touch it and read it for benefit, knowing that it contains verses and surahs in Arabic, of course?

The Shaykh : No, no. You ask, saying: Is the translated Qur'an Qur'an? We say: No.

The questioner : Yes, knowing that it has verses and images.

The Shaykh : Yes, but the translation is more than the Qur'an.

The questioner : Yes, okay.

The Shaykh : If the non-Qur'an content is more than the Qur'an, the ruling follows the majority.

The presenter : Yes, okay. May Allah reward you with good.
