What is the ruling on touching tafsirs (exegeses) without ritual purity?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh : Yes?
The questioner : Shaykh, may Allah reward you, regarding touching some of the tafsirs (exegeses).
The Shaykh : Touching what?
The questioner : Touching books of tafsir (exegesis), Tafsir al-Jalalayn, or some parts of it.
The Shaykh : Our Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said, and his statement that saying "if Allah wills" is correct, he said: "If the majority is tafsir, then the ruling applies to it, and if it is the Qur'an, then the ruling applies to it". Tafsir al-Jalalayn is mostly tafsir. This is if the tafsir is not on the margin of the mushaf. Sometimes the tafsir is on the margin of the mushaf; if it is on its margin, it becomes part of the mushaf. But if some copies contain only the tafsir, there is no harm in touching it.
