Woman in haidh reading or touching a translation of the Quraan Majeed

Q: We seek Mufti Sab's invaluable guidance on whether a hā'iḍah can read and touch the English (or any language) translation of the Qur'ān, such as during Tarjamah study or general kitāb reading (not necessarily from a translation Qur'ān)?

A: It is not permissible for a woman in the state of haidh to recite the Quraan Majeed or to touch the Quraan Majeed. Similarly, it is not permissible for her to verbally recite the translation of the Quraan Majeed or to touch the translation of the Quraan Majeed.

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