Summary
The Penang State Fatwa Committee decided that the album must be refined in terms of tajwid so that the recitation rulings are correct and suit the meaning of the verses. The publisher must remove popular songs from the album's intro section to avoid slander against the practice of reciting the Quran with tarannum. The publisher is also advised to obtain the views of at least three tarannum experts for verification before seeking the Committee's approval.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penerbit perlu mengeluarkan lagu-lagu popular yang dimuat naik di bahagian "intro" album ini bagi mengelakkan timbul sebarang fitnah kepada kaedah bacaan al-Quran secara bertarannum.
