Question:
He says: Recently, it has become common to write Qur'anic verses in the form of what they refer to in meaning. For example, regarding His saying, the Exalted:[Al-Ghashiyah 88:17], they write them as drawings in the shape of camels. Is there any guidance on this?
Answer:
This is image-making in the form of camels. This is image-making of beings with souls. It is forbidden in itself. And the fact that the Qur'an is written in this manner is also a disrespect to the Qur'an.
