Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to gift a non-Muslim a copy of the Qur'an with its meanings translated into his language?
Answer:
Yes, a translation of the meanings of the Qur'an is given to one whose Islam is hoped for, but the mushaf itself is not given to a disbeliever; rather, the Qur'an is recited to him[At-Tawbah 9:6], he is not told to read it, but to listen to the words of Allah. Yes.

And if any one of the polytheists seeks your protection, then grant him protection so that he may hear the words of Allah
وَإِنْ أَحَدٌ مِّنَ الْمُشْرِكِينَ اسْتَجَارَكَ فَأَجِرْهُ حَتَّىٰ يَسْمَعَ كَلَامَ اللَّهِ
