Istifta 136 — Work & investment
Some Muslims deal in the manuscripts of the Holy Qur’an which they import from Muslim countries. Is this permissible? If the obstacle in selling is the law that forbids selling the Qur’an to non-Muslims, is it possible to overlook this condition so that the deal may be legitimate? If it is permissible, how do we bypass this condition?
Answer
We do not allow this since it is detrimental to the [intellectual and cultural] heritage of the Muslims and their resources.
