Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. There are many questions that have come in regarding what was reported in the media about some soldiers desecrating the Mushaf and throwing it into toilets. They ask: What is the obligation of the Muslim in this matter? Is it permissible for him to curse them for this action? How should he denounce it? And how does he respect his Qur'an in the face of such things?
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory to denounce this action. It is obligatory for the Muslims, the rulers, the scholars, and all Muslims to denounce this by whatever means they are able, by whatever means they are able, and it is not permissible to remain silent about it. Yes, perhaps this will, if Allah wills, be the cause of their calamity, if this is true, then their end is near, by the permission of Allah. Yes.
