Summary
A mushaf is the complete Quran without translation or commentary. The Shafii school forbids involving non-Muslims in printing a mushaf, and any mushaf printing activity must also be licensed under the Quranic text printing act. However, printing or copying materials mixed with Quranic verses at a non-Muslim shop is not forbidden, because a prohibition would cause general hardship in daily affairs.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Membuat salinan bahan yang bercampur dengan al-Quran di kedai non-muslim tidak diharamkan kerana akan menyebabkan kesusahan dalam urusan seharian secara umumnya kepada masyarakat.
