Summary

The Johor Fatwa Committee approved guidelines for dissolving bricks made from Qur'an ashes in order to honour them, with several amendments. Ashes from the disposal process are formed into bricks using clean water by handlers who are in a state of wudu and dressed in accordance with Shariah, then stored in a closed container placed more than three feet above the floor. Dissolving is done in open sea more than 15 nautical miles from the jetty, away from shipping lanes, in water at least five metres deep, accompanied by prayers and salawat and the intention of honouring them. The activity is carried out together with relevant agencies such as the Southern Region Marine Department.

Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
