Summary
The fatwa considers this act inappropriate because it can amount to insulting the Quran. Insulting Allah, the Prophet, the Quran or Islam is not permitted even as a joke, as it may take a person out of Islam. If done out of ignorance, the person must repent promptly, seek forgiveness, increase good deeds and stop the act. If not done out of ignorance, it may invalidate the person's faith, and sincere repentance with a resolve not to repeat it is required.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Perbuatan menghina Allah SWT, Rasulullah SAW, al-Quran, agama Islam dan seumpamanya adalah tidak dibenarkan sama sekali walaupun dengan tujuan bergurau kerana ia boleh mengeluarkan seseorang itu daripada agama Islam.
