Mufti forbids Qur’an verses as ring tones

DUBAI: Dubai’s Grand Mufti Sheikh Dr Ahmad Abdul Aziz al- Haddad issued a fatwa yesterday prohibiting the use of verses from the Holy Qur’an as mobile phone ring tones. Al-Haddad said that using the Qur’an on mobile phones was “a violation to its glory and sacredness.” The verses should be reflected as “the words of God.” Some Muslims who believe that all types of music are prohibited in Islam have been using Qur’an verses as ring tones instead. – DPA |
