Summary
The Council of Ulama of the Kelantan Islamic Religious and Malay Customs Council, meeting on 21 December 2006, agreed to issue guidelines for burning religious books containing Quran verses and Hadith. For Quran verses that can no longer be used, the fatwa states that they are burned in a controlled place and buried in a controlled place. Disposal is entrusted to the secretariat or council and the Islamic Religious Department, and is done discreetly to avoid public misunderstanding. Materials containing Quran verses must be burned completely, the ashes collected so they are not scattered, and the burned remains buried in a clean place that people do not pass through or discarded in the sea or a flowing river, with the burning supervised by a Religious Department officer or the party disposing of them.
