Summary
A Braille Quran is still regarded as a mushaf and takes the ruling of an ordinary Quran mushaf. The fatwa cites Shafi'i scholars who permit writing the Quran in scripts other than Arabic, with the rulings of a mushaf applying to touching and carrying it. Although its letters are formed by raised dots, the reading by visually impaired people is the same as reading an ordinary mushaf, so it must be honoured like standard Arabic script.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Mushaf al-Quran dalam bentuk Braille adalah tetap dihukumkan sebagai mushaf.
