Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, regarding the tafsirs available today that contain the complete Qur'an, with a tafsir of the verses next to every page of the Qur'an, such as the tafsir of Shaykh al-Sa'di and the Tafsir of the King Fahd Complex, is it permissible for a person in a state of major ritual impurity (janabah) or a menstruating woman to touch them?
Answer:
No. If the Qur'an is in pages, a full page, with a concise tafsir in its margins, then this is a mushaf. This is called a tafsir mushaf, and it is not to be touched except in a state of ritual purity. However, if the verses are interspersed with the tafsir and are not in a frame dedicated to them, then this is considered a tafsir book, and there is no harm in touching it. Yes. Yes.
