The Ruling on a Wake-Up Clock in the Shape of a Mushaf

Question : Honorable Shaykh! There are currently in the markets wake-up clocks for prayer in the shape of a mushaf, with Surat al-Fatihah written on the right side, and the first five verses of Surat al-Baqarah on the other side. What is the ruling on that?

Answer : This is also something that should be asked of two ministries, and it is a very, very important question. The first ministry is the Ministry of Commerce. The second is the Ministry of Awqaf and Islamic Affairs. For example, if I were to say that it is forbidden, would people benefit from that? Yes, they would benefit by not buying it, but preventing it from the markets is the responsibility of another party. The preparation of the project by the Senior Scholars of Kuwait, may Allah bless it with tawhid (the oneness of Allah) and the Sunnah.
