Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : May the Shaykh be honored, I ask about the ruling on selling mushafs?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with selling mushafs, and it is something that pressing need or dire necessity sometimes calls for. You will see this in the case of a person who needs a mushaf and does not have one, but has money with which he can buy one. How does he obtain this mushaf? Only by purchasing it. Therefore, selling and buying a mushaf is lawful and there is nothing wrong with it due to the need for it. As for those who prohibit it, that is understood to apply only if it leads to its desecration and degradation, in which case it is prohibited for this reason.
