A Book of Tafsir is Not the same as the Qur'an
|
Question:
Why is the following verse not written on Tafsir books : None can touch but purified : [1]
|
Answer:
Since a Tafsir book contains words of men, it is like all other religious books: a person who is impure may touch it, even if all or more of the Qur'an is written in it. What is forbidden is for an impure person to touch a copy of the Qur'an, which either consist of the Qur'an by itself or what is for the most part of the Qur'an.
