Question
Can we give a copy of the Quraan in Arabic with English Translation to a non-muslim.
Answer
In the name of Allah, Most Gracious, Most Merciful
Assalaamu `alaykum waRahmatullahi Wabarakatoh
It is permissible to give a copy of the Quran to a non-Muslim if one honestly feels the non-Muslim will respect the Quran. When giving the Quran to a non-Muslim, advise him on the respect of the Quran.
And Allah knows best
