Summary
Placing something on top of a Quran mushaf is not forbidden as long as it is not done with the intention of insulting the Quran, and it involves no element of disrespect. However, it is disliked (makruh) because it goes against the proper etiquette toward the Quran as explained by the scholars. Placing one mushaf on another is permitted, and it is better to avoid putting other items on a mushaf.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Meletakkan sesuatu di atas mashaf al-Quran tidak haram jika perbuatan tersebut tidak diniatkan untuk menghina keagungan al-Quran.
