Summary
The Selangor Fatwa Committee ruled that hanging verses of the Quran or sacred Islamic phrases in non-Muslim premises is prohibited. The prohibition also covers any place that could expose them to insult, fraud or misuse. Selling and keeping the Quran in shops owned by non-Muslims is likewise prohibited, as it may lead to disrespect of the sanctity of the holy book.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penjualan dan penyimpanan kitab suci al-Quran di kedai-kedai yang dimiliki oleh orang bukan Islam adalah juga dilarang oleh Islam kerana ia boleh membawa kepada penghinaan ke atas kehormatan dan kesucian kitab suci tersebut.
