The questioner:
Also, among her questions, she says: There are some Mushafs that have a brief Tafsir of the verses written beside them. Is it on the same ruling as touching the Mushaf, requiring ritual purity?
The Shaykh:
Yes. If the Mushaf is written in the form of a complete Mushaf with pages, and there is some tafsir (exegesis) in the margins, then it is a Mushaf, and it is not permissible to touch it except in a state of ritual purity. Yes.
The questioner:
As for books of tafsir.
The Shaykh:
As for books of tafsir, there is nothing wrong with a person touching them, because they are not called Mushafs; rather, they are tafsir like other books. Yes.
