Enabling the disbeliever to touch the translated mushaf

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This questioner says: Is it permissible to allow a disbeliever to touch the mushaf that has been translated, or whose meanings have been translated into English?

Answer:
He does not touch the Qur'an; rather, he touches the tafsir, the tafsir or explanation of the meanings of the Qur'an. There is no harm in that, but he does not touch the Qur'an,
None touch it except the purified.لَّا يَمَسُّهُ إِلَّا الْمُطَهَّرُونَ
[Al-Waqi'ah 56:79]
