Answered by Ustadha Shazia Ahmad
Is the English translation of the Quran considered to be the text of the Quran? Do the same rulings about handling the Quran apply to both the Arabic and the English text?
The English translation of the Quran is not considered to be the Quran, so the same rulings do not apply to handling it.
If one has a mushaf (copy of the Quran) that only contains a translation in English, or if it contains both English and Arabic, but the Arabic is less than the English, one may carry it and touch it without wudu, although it is better to not touch the Arabic verses. The same applies to one in major ritual impurity.
Yes, a book that contains Quran and English, can be considered as a book of tafseer, which means that most of the text is not Quran, so one can touch it and carry it, but if most of the text is Quran, it is not permissible.
And Allah knows best.
