Using verses as company logos
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Fatwa number ( 13353 )
Q: We noticed on the letters of Dar al-Amanah Company, in the upper section, a company logo, and written in it is (In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Most Compassionate)
and His saying, the Exalted:[An-Nisa 4:58] What is observed is that they are written in the manner of a logo, and the Name of the Majestic and the verse are inverted in a decorative way. My question is: Is this permissible in the law of Allah, and using His names and verses in this way? If this is not permissible, I ask you to alert and warn companies and institutions not to write the verses of Allah, Exalted and Majestic, in this way, and not to exploit them in commercial or personal matters or otherwise. May Allah reward you with the best reward.
A : It is not permissible to place a verse from the Qur'an as a logo for a company; because the Qur'an should not be a title for a commercial establishment; due to the desecration involved in that. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
