[WaydayTew]

Book which contain translations of the Qur'an for e.g. a book with a collection of surahs from the Qur'an which has English as well Arabic translation, how are they suppose to be read, with or without wudu?

Might be a simple question for some, but its one I'm confused on.

Any help much appreciated.

Here are the important parts:

Rules of touching/reciting the Qur'aan while in the state of Impurity (Needing Wudhu or Ghusl)

Summary:

1) It is not permissible to physically touch the Qur'aan if the person is unclean and in need of Wudhu. However according to Imam Abu Haneefa (RA) it would be permissible to touch the Sleeve (or covering) which is not permanently attached to the Qur'aan but Imam Malik (RA) & Imam Shaf'ae (RA) don't permit this.

2) It is permissible to recite the Qur'aan from memory (without Wudhu).

3) It is not permissible to physically touch or recite the Qur'aan if the person is unclean and in the state of Ghusl ,whether the state of uncleanliness is due to sexual defilement (Janabah), Menustral bleeding or post-partum bleeding.

4) If the woman is a Hafidfha of the Qur'aan and there is a danger that she may forget the Qur'aan if she doesn't recite (during her menstrual periods) then Mufti Ibraheem Desai (DB) recommends the following two methods:

a) She may use a cloth to hold the Qur’an and look inside while reciting in the mind. She should not move her lips.

b) She can sit next to someone who is reciting and listen to that person.

5) It is also not permissible to touch the translation ONLY of the Qur'aan in the state of impurity. [Mufti Hussain/ http://www.sunniforum.com/forum/ ].
