A Muslim disagreeing with the translation of an aayat in the translation prepared by Mufti Afzal Elias has burnt the Qur'aan.

Question

A Muslim disagreeing with the translation of an aayat in the translation prepared by Mufti Afzal Elias has burnt the Qur'aan. What is the status of this man?

Answer

The jaahil is a murtad. The translation is correct. The man appears to be mentally unstable, hence he acquitted himself like a munaafiq committing the capital kufr act of burning the Qur'aan Shareef. If this man is not mentally unstable or mad, then his act of burning the Qur'aan expels him from the fold of Islam.
