Summary
The default ruling on writing Quranic verses on items or places is permissible, provided the sanctity of the verses is preserved. However, decorating clothing with Quranic verses is feared to lead to disrespect, as the garment may be worn or placed in unsuitable ways, including being worn by someone in a state of ritual impurity. This applies whether the verse is written in full, without vowel marks, or with its letters separated. The fatwa concludes that designing and decorating clothing with Quranic verses should be avoided.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh yang demikian, membuat rekaan dan mencorak pakaian dengan tulisan ayat al-Quran adalah perlu dielakkan.
