Summary
Quranic verses may be written or printed on cards, calendars and newspapers if there is confidence that their sanctity will be guarded and preserved. If not, only the meaning or translation of the verses may be written or printed. This decision was made by the Federal Territories Syariah Legal Consultative Committee on 6 April 1996.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
