Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee states that the Quran should be recited, listened to and understood so that it can be practised in daily life. However, playing Quran recitation in public places such as food stalls, restaurants and schools is prohibited when the circumstances lead to the Quran being neglected and disrespected, or give the impression of lowering its value.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Memperdengarkan bacaan al-Quran di kawasan-kawasan awam termasuk gerai makan, restoran, sekolah dan seumpamanya dalam keadaan yang menyebabkan al-Quran diabaikan dan tidak dihormati serta boleh memberi persepsi merendahkan nilaian al-Quran adalah satu perbuatan yang ditegah.
