The ruling on hanging Qur'anic verses and supplications on walls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on hanging Qur'anic verses on walls, as well as some of the well-known supplications?

Answer:
This is not what was prescribed; neither verses nor supplications are to be hung on walls. Supplications and verses belong in the hearts, not on walls. Perhaps this practice involves the belief that there is blessing in them, and it may also be considered a form of amulet. This is not permissible. Yes.
