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

Fatawa SA is an independent, read-only index of fatawa already published by Darul Iftaa Mahmudiyyah (AskImam). It is not a fatwa service. For your own situation, ask the issuing Darul Ifta directly.
