Summary
The Federal Territories Syariah Legal Consultative Committee ruled that non-Muslims may not write, engrave, display or sell items containing written Quranic verses. Sculpting or shaping Quranic verses into the likeness of humans, animals and the like is forbidden for both Muslims and non-Muslims. Using plates and bowls inscribed with Quranic verses as food or drink containers is also forbidden. Wearing ornaments bearing the words Allah, Muhammad, Islam and other portions of Quranic verses is permitted, provided they are placed in a respectable place.
