Summary
The Committee decided that the word Yassin must be spelled correctly, and any addition should be explained in a footnote to avoid confusing readers. The title must be written simply as Surah Yassin, and the surah must be arranged separately from the supplications. The booklet reviewed was found to be in breach of printing requirements under the Printing of Quranic Texts Act 1986, as the printer must first obtain permission from the Ministry of Home Affairs.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Tajuk tidak boleh ditulis Yassin Fahilat, hendaklah ditulis Surah Yassin sahaja.
