Summary
The Johor Fatwa Committee decided that the existing method of disposing of Qurans, by burning them and dissolving the ashes on the seabed, should continue. The proposal to use the ashes as artificial reefs was considered inappropriate and unnecessary. The ruling aims to preserve the honour and dignity of the Quran.
