Ruling on a non-Muslim touching a translation of the meanings of the Qur'an

Question:
I have a translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an in English. Is it permissible for a non-Muslim to touch it?
Answer:
There is no harm in a non-Muslim touching a translation of the meanings of the Noble Qur'an in English, or in any other language; because the translation is an interpretation of the meanings of the Qur'an. So if a non-Muslim, or one who is not in a state of ritual purity, touches it, there is no harm in that; because the translation does not have the ruling of the Qur'an, but rather it has the ruling of tafsir (exegesis). And there is no harm in a non-Muslim, or one who is not in a state of ritual purity, touching books of tafsir, and likewise books of hadith, fiqh, and the Arabic language. And Allah is the guarantor of success.
