Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Today I invited one of the workers to Islam, and he accepted the invitation. He asked me to give him an explanation of the Noble Qur'an in his language. Is it permissible for me to give him this translation in his language, or should I give him another book that teaches about Islam?

Answer:
No, they should translate the meanings of the Noble Qur'an. Translate them and send them to the da'wah workers abroad so they can give them to any disbeliever who wishes to know the meanings of the Qur'an. As for the Qur'an itself, it is not translated, it is not permissible, and it is not possible either. But translating its meanings and its tafsir (exegesis) is fine. Give him a translation of the tafsir. It is called a translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an, and it is not called a translation of the Noble Qur'an. He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A translation of the meanings of the Qur'an is currently being distributed. It is currently being distributed in the cooperation offices, in the Islamic centers, from the Mushaf Complex, and from the Muslim World League. It is being distributed. A translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an, yes. Get a copy and give it to him. Yes.
