The answer

It is not permissible to alter the rules of the Noble Quran. Scholars have reached a consensus that whoever intentionally adds a letter to it, or removes one from it, or changes it, is considered a disbeliever. Furthermore, Imam Malik and Imam Ahmad explicitly forbade changing its script, which was written by the Companions. Therefore, one must be wary of any attempts to change the Book of Allah, and be diligent in reciting it, memorizing it, pondering its meanings, and acting upon it.
