Summary
The 30th Muzakarah of the National Fatwa Committee (MKI), held on 22 August 1992, ruled that Qurans that are damaged, torn, no longer readable, or not in the Uthmani script must be disposed of. The methods are burning or burying in a controlled place. The task is assigned to the Secretariat or the State Islamic Religious Councils and Departments, and is to be carried out discreetly to avoid public misunderstanding.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Al-Quran yang rosak, koyak, yang tidak lagi boleh dibaca dan yang bukan resam uthmani hendaklah dilupuskan.
