The Ruling on Hanging Qur'anic Verses on Walls
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on placing Qur'anic verses in the walls of homes and changing them, or placing the verse of the Night of Decree on a white background, even if there is no mention of this in that context?
Answer:
I hold that it is not permissible. This is a matter that is known and studied among the scholars of knowledge, and some of them have excelled in its consideration. They say that this is a reminder of the Qur'an, and that there is nothing in the Qur'an itself stating that the Qur'an is to be hung or raised; rather, it falls under the category of reminder in this regard, so there is no evidence for it. Some scholars have said that this is something the Salaf did not do; it is something the Salaf did not do. One should not try to have the Qur'an on the walls. Furthermore, this involves disrespecting the Qur'an, because this board or this item may fall and be discarded, or someone who does not respect the Qur'an may come to live in the house, or someone who does not respect the Qur'an may live in the room, disobeying Allah while the Qur'an is hanging above his head, and he commits lewd acts. This is a definition of ignorance. In fact, some people do not hang verses for the sake of reminder, but rather for the sake of art and decoration. They hang trees, the Surah of Trees, the Surah of Seas, and they hang verses written in beautiful calligraphy, solely for the sake of decoration, solely for the sake of decoration.
