Summary
The Perlis State Fatwa Committee ruled that Quran recitation and memorisation events, or similar events, may be held. The purpose must be to improve the quality of recitation and understanding of the Quran, not merely to win. The atmosphere must not show arrogance or boastfulness in displaying recitation skills, nor disrespect for the Quran. The event must also be free of clear contradictions of Quranic rulings, such as free mixing of the sexes, wastefulness, performances contrary to Islamic law and promotion of things that oppose the Quran.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
