The word(s) "sanction" appears 2 time(s) in 2 verse(s) in Quran in Muhammad Habib Shakir translation.

(1) Or have they associates who have prescribed for them any religion that Allah does not sanction? And were it not for the word of judgment, decision would have certainly been given between them; and surely the unjust shall have a painful punishment.

(2) Allah indeed has sanctioned for you the expiation of your oaths and Allah is your Protector, and He is the Knowing the Wise.
