The question

What is the ruling on writing Quranic verses on social media in a way that deviates from the Quranic orthography, considering the difficulty of writing some vocalization marks like the short alif? Is it permissible to write them in the usual linguistic form, or is adherence to the Quranic orthography obligatory?

The answer

It is permissible to write some verses of the Holy Quran on social media platforms using an orthographic spelling that differs from the Mushaf's script, for the benefit of helping people understand and protecting them from confusion and errors in reading words. Al-Zarkashi mentioned in Al-Burhan that Imam Ahmad prohibited deviating from the script of Uthman's Mushaf. However, Izz al-Din ibn Abd al-Salam is of the opinion that it is not permissible to write the Mushaf now using the original scripts, for fear of alteration by the ignorant.
