Reciting Ta’wuz and Tasmiyah before reciting an Aayat in kitaab reading

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Muftionline.co.za

Q: When reading a kitaab, like Fazaa’il-e-A`maal for example, one often comes across a single verse or several short verses of the Qur’an Shareef being quoted. (1) Before reciting such a verse, must one recite Ta’wuz and Tasmiyah? (2) Can one just read the English translation below the verse and not the actual Arabic verse itself?

Bismillaah

A:

1. It is better though not compulsory.

2. Yes.

And Allah Ta’ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
