Impermissible to dispose of the Mus-hafs in mosques

Question

We live in a European country. There are Mus-hafs that have been made exclusive to the mosque where we pray, as in all mosques. Is it permissible to give any of these Mus-hafs to the people who need them, because of their scarcity in that country?

Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, The Lord of the Worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah, and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

It is not permissible to give Mus-hafs that are made exclusive to a mosque to any person, no matter who it is. It is also not permissible to dispose of them by either selling or offering them as gifts. Anyone who needs a Mus-haf can buy one or demand it from an Islamic center or from elsewhere.

Allaah Knows best.
