Summary
Writing Quranic verses on items in general is permissible, provided their sanctity is preserved and there is no element of disrespect. However, writing Quranic verses on toys is prohibited under the principle of Sadd al-Zari'ah (blocking the means to what is forbidden), since toys are usually played with and left lying about, which opens the way to disrespect. Manufacturers should produce toys without Quranic verses, and owners of toys bearing verses must safeguard their sanctity.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Penulisan ayat suci al-Quran pada apa-apa jua barangan adalah harus. Namun, pihak yang melakukan perkara tersebut wajib menjaga kehormatan ayat suci al-Quran tersebut.
