Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that the proposal to use Quran ashes as artificial reefs is not appropriate and unnecessary. The existing disposal method, which is burning the Quran and dissolving the ashes into the seabed, should continue. The decision was made to preserve the honour and dignity of the Quran.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
