The ruling on writing al-Fatihah in foreign languages to teach pronunciation
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner says: A woman recently embraced Islam, praise be to Allah, and we want to teach her to read and memorize al-Fatihah so that she can recite it in her prayer. So, she wrote it in her own language to make it easier for her to learn the pronunciation of al-Fatihah in Arabic.
Answer:
Do not write it in a foreign language; because the Qur'an is not recited or written except in the Arabic language in which it was revealed. It is only permissible to write its interpretation in a foreign language in order to help people understand the meanings of the Noble Qur'an. As for the text of the Qur'an and the words of the Qur'an, it is not permissible to translate them into another language, because it is a miracle in its wording, and it is not possible to produce a wording that matches the Qur'anic wording in its miraculous nature. And... Yes.
