Summary
To preserve the honour of the Quran, Islamic items bearing Quranic verses on wood, iron, aluminium, plastic and glass must first have the written verses removed. This may be done through a green technology process known as deinking, by detaching the writing from wood, or by breaking or melting the item, or any other means that removes the writing. The item is then burned, and the ashes are dissolved into the seabed or buried in a place not trodden by people or animals.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Demi menjaga kemuliaan dan kehormatan ayat-ayat al-Quran, bahan terbitan Islam yang mengandungi ayat-ayat al-Quran yang ditulis pada kayu, besi, aluminium, plastik dan kaca hendaklah terlebih dahulu dihilangkan tulisan ayat al-Quran
