Summary
The meeting was informed that misuse, sale and plagiarism of the Quran, Quranic materials and Islamic religious books were widespread in Penang, yet no legal action had been taken because clear legal provisions were lacking. It agreed that provisions be made in the Syariah Criminal Offences Enactment to prevent Muslims or non-Muslims from committing these acts. It also proposed that MPSP and MPPP make it a condition that non-Muslims are prohibited from selling the Quran and Quranic materials, and agreed to issue a press statement to the public.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
