Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penjualan dan penyimpanan kitab suci Al-Quran di kedai-kedai yang dimiliki oleh orang bukan Islam adalah juga dilarang oleh Islam kerana ia boleh membawa kepada penghinaan ke atas kehormatan dan kesucian kitab suci tersebut.
