Is it permissible to marry a girl to the Qurʾān? What is the Sharʿī ruling regarding those who do this to preserve wealth? Does this act take them out of Islam or not?

Answer
Al-ḥamdu lillāh, waṣ-ṣalātu wa-s-salāmu ʿalā Rasūlillāh, Ammā baʿd:
- Marrying a girl to the Qurʾān is an utterly false, rejected, and anti-Islamic practice.
- It is not only a blatant violation of Islamic Sharīʿah but also an act of mockery and ridicule of the Qurʾān and Islam.
- If, after clear evidence is presented proving the invalidity of this act (iqāmat al-ḥujjah), a person still believes it to be permissible, then his Islam becomes questionable.
Hādhā mā ʿindī, wallāhu aʿlam biṣ-ṣawāb.
