Question
The Darul Ifta of Mufti Ebrahim Desai issued a fatwa stating that it is not permissible to publish a Qur'aan translation without including the Arabic text. Is this fatwa correct? What should be done with such translations which are without the Arabic text?
Answer
The fatwa regarding Qur'aan translations is correct. Translations without the Arabic text opens an avenue for interpolation and fraud. Copies without the Arabic text already in your possession should simply be kept on the shelf.
