Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that Islamic items bearing Quranic verses on wood, iron, aluminium, plastic and glass must be disposed of in a way that preserves the honour of the Quran. The writing is first removed, whether by the green technology process known as deinking, by detaching it, breaking or melting the item, or by any other means. The material is then burned, and the ashes are dissolved into the seabed or buried in a place not traversed by people or animals.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
