The ruling on translating blasphemous materials varies according to the translator's intention. If the translator is content with the disbelief, then he is a disbeliever. If he translates it to gain worldly benefit, then he is committing a grave sin. However, if he translates it with the intention of refuting misconceptions, then this is a good deed.
