Summary
Hanging verses of the Quran or sacred Islamic phrases in non-Muslim premises, or any place that may expose them to insult, deception or misuse, is prohibited. The ruling aims to protect the honour and dignity of these verses and phrases. Selling and keeping the Quran in shops owned by non-Muslims is also prohibited because it may lead to disrespect of its sanctity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penjualan dan penyimpanan kitab suci al-Quran di kedai-kedai yang dimiliki oleh orang bukan Islam adalah juga dilarang oleh Islam kerana ia boleh membawa kepada penghinaan ke atas kehormatan dan kesucian kitab suci tersebut.
