The Ruling on Hanging Verses on Walls and Doors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a hospital owner who hung the verse on the hospital door: “And if He causes you to be ill, He is the One who cures.”
Answer:
By Allah, it is not permissible to hang verses on walls or on doors, because this exposes the Qur'an to disrespect. This was not the practice of the righteous predecessors. The righteous predecessors did not hang the Qur'an or verses on doors or walls. They respected the great Qur'an by keeping it in their hearts and in the mushafs, and they did not hang it on walls. This is a late custom that is not from the practice of the righteous predecessors, so it should not be done. Also, if hanging the Qur'an or part of the Qur'an is done as a means of protection to prevent thieves from a shop, a place, or a house, then this is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible, or it is a means to shirk. It is not permissible to hang the Qur'an or amulets on walls or doors. Yes.
