Summary
Stepping over the Quran is forbidden because it is regarded as an insult to the Quran, which Muslims are obliged to honour. Living on an upper floor of an apartment is not an offence. A Quran kept on the floor below is not considered stepped over, since that floor counts as a separate place.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Melangkah Al-Quran hukumnya haram kerana perbuatan itu satu penghinaan terhadap Al-Quran sedang kita diwajibkan memuliakannya.
