The ruling on hanging verses of the Qur'an on the walls of homes and offices

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on hanging verses from the Book of Allah in homes or in offices? And if they are hung for the sake of seeking blessing, what is obligatory for me regarding the one who does that?

Answer:
Tell them that hanging the verses exposes them to disrespect. That is from one aspect. The second aspect is that this is not from the practice of the righteous Salaf. They did not hang verses on the walls, on the doors, or in the shops. This was not from the practice of the righteous Salaf with the Book of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes.
