Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This person asks: Your Eminence the Shaykh, what is the ruling on writing some of the surahs of the Qur'an on boards and hanging them in rooms?
Answer:
I am not aware of anything [prohibiting it]. Some scholars prohibit it, but we are not aware of any [evidence for that]. If the purpose is benefit, where one reads the Qur'an and benefits from it for the sake of benefit, that is fine. However, if the intention is to seek protection or safety, that is not permissible. But if it is for the sake of benefit, where the person reads what is hung up, reads the Qur'an, or reads hadiths, or benefits from things hung on the wall in the sitting room or in the office for the sake of reminder and benefit, then there is no harm. Yes.
