Ruling on transferring surplus Qur'ans from one mosque to another
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This is Salim. He says that there are mushafs from the King Fahd Complex for the Printing of the Holy Qur'an being distributed in large numbers to the mosques affiliated with the Waqf. In one mosque, the number of mushafs exceeds the number of worshippers by twenty-five percent. Is it permissible for him to transfer the mushafs from this mosque to another mosque where there is a need for them?
Answer:
First, the people of the mosque should not take more mushafs than they need; they should not request from the distributing authority more than their need. Second, if there are surplus mushafs, or mushafs that are worn out, the reference in this matter is to the Department of Mosques. He goes to the Department of Mosques and informs them that he has available mushafs that the mosque does not need, or that he has worn-out mushafs that need restoration and repair. They will handle this matter. As for him, he does not act on his own. Yes.
