Summary
The Muzakarah agreed that the Quran may be placed in hotels in Malaysia, subject to certain conditions. It must be kept in a special place out of children's reach, be constantly supervised by a Muslim hotel supervisor to prevent misuse, and a note for those who wish to touch it must be placed on the special glass case holding it. The Muzakarah also stated that it is better if translated copies of the Quran are provided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
