Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Is it true that the Hanbali school holds that buying and selling mushafs is forbidden?
Answer:
I do not know of this. It is narrated from Ibn 'Umar that he said, "I wish that hands were cut off for selling mushafs," but Allah knows best. If mushafs were not sold, they would not be printed. So, so, I mean, the command to sell them or the dispensation in selling them serves as an advertisement for their printing, production, and circulation. Yes.
