Quoting from the Noble Qur'an and Incorporating Some Speech
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The first question of Fatwa number ( 18000 )
Q 1: What is the ruling if a topic is mentioned or a conversation takes place, and then a response is given using some verses that carry the meaning of what is being said? For example, if a problem arises with one of the teachers, the student asks what happened, and she responds with the words of Allah the Exalted:[At-Taghabun 64:11] . Is
there sin in uttering this?
A 1: The majority of jurists have permitted, in general, quoting from the Qur'an and incorporating it into speech to beautify it, provided it is for purposes that do not deviate from the objectives of the Shari'ah. However, if the speech is forbidden or disliked, it is not permissible to quote from the Qur'an in it, such as the speech of innovators and those who engage in frivolity and obscenity. This is detailed in three categories, as mentioned by al-Suyuti : The first: Acceptable, which is what is found in sermons, admonitions, and covenants. The second: Permissible, which is what is found in letters and stories. The third: Rejected, which is of two types: The first: Quoting what Allah has attributed to Himself, by the quoter attributing it to himself. The second: Incorporating a verse in a meaning of jest or frivolity. And al-Suyuti said: (This classification is very good, and I say so as well). End of quote. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

No disaster strikes except by permission of Allah
