Date: 17/1/1432 AH, corresponding to 23/12/2010 AD.
All perfect praise be to Allah, The Lord of The Worlds; and may His blessings and peace be upon our Prophet Mohammad and upon all his family and companions.
During its twelfth session held on the above given date, the Board reviewed the question sent by Jordan Standards and Metrology Organization/southern region branch, with which was attached a sample of a jacket made in China, on which the following Quranic words were inscribed: "Fa`Allahu Khair Hafizann"
After prolonged deliberations, the Board decided what follows:
It is impermissible to write Quranic verses on pieces of clothing in order to prohibit what may lead to committing sins and for fear of degrading the words of Allah.
