AhlulBayt News Agency (ABNA): Egypt’s Dar Al Ifta has strongly rejected the use of Latin letters for writing the Holy Quran, urging for maintaining the Arabic script.
According to Egyptian daily El-Watan, an Egyptian engineer has devised a method so that all Muslims, regardless of their nationality and language, could read Quranic verses correctly.
The method uses Latin letters which match correct Arabic pronunciation of the noble verses verified by audio recordings of recitation that top readers of the Holy Book use.
After the announcement of the project, numerous questions were raised about the permissibility of this matter from the religious aspect.
The Egyptian Dar Al Iftaa put an end to the controversy by issuing a fatwa on its website. The body announced prohibition of writing or printing Quran in Latin letters. According to the Fatwa, no change should be introduced to the writing style of Quran and those responsible must put every effort to preserve the current Arabic script.
