What is the ruling on reading quran if one does not know how to read quran? Does it count to read it in English? Is the reward the same as reading it in English?

Answer

If a person does not know how to read Arabic, he/she should make an effort in doing so. Until then, the person may read the english translation of the Quran.

And Allah Ta'ala knows best
