Summary

The Johor Fatwa Committee approved the Johor Islamic Religious Department's guidelines for dissolving Quran ash bricks as a way of honouring them, with some amendments. Ash from the disposal process is moulded into bricks with clean water by handlers who are in a state of wudu and dressed in line with sharia, then stored in a designated place raised above the floor. Dissolving takes place in open sea more than 15 nautical miles from the jetty, away from shipping lanes and at a depth of at least five metres, accompanied by Quran recitation, prayers and salawat. The bricks are released from a ship or taken to the seabed by scuba diving, in cooperation with the relevant agencies.
