Summary
The fatwa leans towards discouraging the practice of opening the Quran at random to seek guidance. When a problem arises, it should be referred to people who are qualified and skilled. Guidance from Allah is sought through the istikharah prayer based on authentic hadith, and the matter should be examined through knowledge rather than by mere chance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Kami lebih cenderung agar tidak dilakukan sedemikian. Ini kerana dalam Islam, apabila timbul permasalahan hendaklah dirujuk kepada orang yang berkelayakan dan berkemahiran.
