Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Is it permissible to give a copy of the Qur'an translated into a foreign language as a gift to non-Muslim foreigners?

Answer:
No, a disbeliever is not given the Qur'an, nor is it made available to him. However, the Qur'an is recited to him; the Qur'an is recited to him
And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allahوَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ
[At-Tawbah 9:6]
so that the Qur'an is recited to him for the purpose of calling him to Allah and encouraging him to embrace Islam. As for giving him the mushaf, that is not permissible. It is permissible to give him a tape that he can play and listen to; there is no harm in that. Yes.
