Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee decided that the reviewed text of Pengertian Al-Quran, Al-Mizan edition, must not be published or distributed to the public. Its review of several verses of Surah an-Nisa' found clear errors, including rendering the meaning of kinsfolk as biological mother or siblings, altering the order of the text, and the phrase "at one time" which could confuse the ruling on marrying two sisters together. The Ar-Rahman guided translation was judged better and more accurate, and it includes explanatory footnotes.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, kami pihak Jabatan Mufti Negeri Johor ingin menyatakan bahawa pengertian Al-Quran edisi Al-Mizan yang ada sekarang tidak boleh diterbitkan dan diedarkan kepada orang ramai.
