The ruling on hanging decorated panels containing verses for the purpose of adornment

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on making decorated panels or placing decorated panels that contain some verses and hadiths, and hanging them in the room for the sake of adornment?

Answer:
No, the Qur'an is not to be taken for adornment or decoration; it is only to be taken for worship, recitation, reflection, and learning. As for hanging it as adornment, no. The Qur'an is more exalted and greater than that. Yes.
