Summary
According to the jurists, the ruling on touching the Quran applies to the Quran text alone or the Quran with only a brief translation. A work containing lengthy exegesis with detailed explanation is not included in this meaning. Even so, it is more meritorious to perform ablution first.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Fuqaha berpendapat al-Quran semata atau terjemahan sedikit daripada al-Quran. Tetapi jika tafsir yang panjang dengan penerangan maka ia tidaklah termasuk.
