The Ruling on Hanging the Qur'an in the House or Wearing It as a Covering

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This is a woman asking: What is the ruling on what is written from the Qur'an and hung in the house or worn as a hijab?

Answer:
This is not permissible. It is not permissible to hang the Qur'an on a hijab. The Salaf forbade this, and the correct opinion of the scholars is that it is not permissible, even if it is from the Qur'an. It is not hung on a child, on an adult, or on anything that is hung. However, the Qur'an is thrown [at the person] and recited over them with the Qur'an; that is good. As for hanging it, it is not permissible, even if it is from the Qur'an. But if it is from other than the Qur'an, and from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and from sorcery, this is forbidden by consensus and not permissible. These are the amulets of shirk.
So what is hung is of two types: what is from the Qur'an, regarding which there is scholarly disagreement, and the correct view is that it is not permissible; and what is from shirk, from sorcery, and from strange words that are not understood, which is forbidden by consensus.
