Summary
The Selangor State Fatwa Committee ruled that, in principle, Islam does not prohibit using Quranic verses as a mobile phone ringtone. This permission is conditional on the use conforming to the etiquette prescribed by Islam. It must also not be used in places that would defile the sanctity of the verses, such as in the toilet.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Pada prinsipnya Islam tidak menghalang penggunaan nada dering ayat- ayat suci al-quran ini dengan syarat penggunaannya menepati adab yang telah ditetapkan oleh Islam dan digunakan di tempat-tempat yang tidak mencemarkan kesucian ayat-ayat suci tersebut seperti di dalam tandas.
