The ruling on hanging embroidered verses in the home to beautify the home?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on hanging embroidered Qur'anic verses in the home to beautify the home? And is this considered diminishing the right of the Qur'anic verses?

Answer:
This is not permissible; hanging Qur'anic verses on walls or elsewhere is a form of playing with the Book of Allah the Exalted. Even if they say it is for the sake of dhikr (remembrance of Allah), it is still playing with it. If the intention is beautification, that confirms that this is playing with the Book of Allah the Exalted. The Qur'an is to be protected from such matters. The Salaf (earliest generations) did not do this; rather, they honored the Qur'an, preserved it in their hearts and in their mushafs (written copies), and did not hang it on their walls. In fact, many of them disapproved of hanging the Qur'an on people for the purpose of seeking healing from illnesses. They rejected this. So how is it permissible to hang it on walls and elsewhere?
This is something from which the Book of Allah the Exalted is to be protected. These calligraphers who write these verses in frames and sell them to people must seek their livelihood by other means and protect the Book of Allah the Exalted from this playing with it. Yes.
