Fatwa #65121 September 2000Pakistan

I left the Quran on my desk at work and soon a Kafir started looking through it. Should I stop him because he isnt muslim without wudu?

Question

I want to also know if i should have let him read it hoping that he may get hidayat from Allah. He is a christian who really isnt too fond of his religon so I let him do this. Please reply by email also. JazakAllah

Answer

If a non-Muslim is sincerely interested in Islam and wants to read the translation and commentary of the Qur?aan, he should be advised to respect the Qur?aan by washing before touching the Qur?aan and keeping the Qur?aan with respect.

and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best
