Is it Islamically permissible to name Qur'anic manuscripts with names such as "Mushaf Misr" (Qur'an of Egypt) or "Mushaf Saudi Arabia"?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The attribution occurs with the slightest cause, and there is no harm in attributing the Mushaf (copy of the Qur’an) to the printing entity or the country where it was printed. The reciters (Qurra’) have already attributed the Mushaf to the entities to whom Uthman sent copies, such as Al-Shatibi’s saying: "And in the Mushaf of the people of Sham, for example, with the Yaa’." Similar to this is attributing mosques to those who built them or to their neighborhoods, and the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, attributed the mosque to himself.
