Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that disposing of the Quran and printed religious materials using green technology through the deinking process, without burning, is permissible. The process must be carried out according to work procedures managed in compliance with Islamic law. This is to preserve the honour of the Quran and to avoid anything that could disrespect its sanctity and high standing.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
