Defining the Mushaf and the Ruling on Books of Tafsir
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is meant by the mushaf? Does every book in which a verse is written count as a mushaf? And do books of tafsir fall under this ruling?
Answer:
No, the mushaf is well known; it is what is dedicated solely to the Qur'an, or to a portion of it, containing nothing but the Qur'an. As for what contains tafsir, that is not a mushaf. It is permissible to read the tafsir and the recitation in it, even if a person is in a state of ritual impurity, because this is not called a mushaf; it is called tafsir. Yes.
