The Ruling on Hanging Qur'anic Verses on Walls
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I heard a questioner ask: What is the ruling on hanging Qur'anic verses on walls for the sake of remembrance?
Answer:
By Allah, to my knowledge, the Salaf did not do this. They did not hang Qur'anic verses on walls; the Qur'an was in their hearts and in the mushafs, not hung on walls. First, this is contrary to the practice of the Salaf, to my knowledge. Second, it is exposed to disrespect. It is exposed to disrespect; this poster may fall and be trampled, the wall may be demolished, and the Qur'an within it may be disrespected. Things may fall on it from the sky or from the beams, so it is exposed to disrespect. This is something the Salaf did not do, to my knowledge. Even if the intention of the one who does it is good, the criterion is not the goodness of the intention; the criterion is following the Sunnah, the outcomes, and avoiding what is prohibited.
