The Ruling on Hanging the Qur'an on Walls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
I have a plaque hanging on the wall with Surat al-Nas decorated on it, and another plaque with Surat al-Ikhlas. Is this permissible?

Answer:
This should not be done. Hanging the Qur'an on walls, on cars, or in shops is not something that should be done, because it involves disrespecting the Qur'an. Disobedience and bad manners toward the Qur'an may occur in that room. This was not the practice of the Salaf; they did not hang the Qur'an on walls or in rooms. This was not the guidance of the righteous Salaf. The Qur'an is to be in the mushafs and in the hearts, to be recited and read, not to be hung. Yes.
