Summary
The National Fatwa Committee meeting held on 22 August 1992 resolved that Qurans that are damaged, torn, no longer legible or not in the Uthmani script must be disposed of. The methods are burning or burying in a controlled place. The task is assigned to the Secretariat or the State Islamic Religious Councils and Departments, and is carried out discreetly to avoid public misunderstanding.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Al-Quran yang rosak, koyak, yang tidak lagi boleh dibaca dan yang bukan resam uthmani hendaklah dilupuskan.
