Ruling on incorporating verses from the Qur'an into poetry and singing the verses

Question:
May Allah reward you. The Honorable Shaykh says: What is the ruling on one who incorporates verses from the Qur'an into his poetry, such that he makes a verse from the Qur'an, or part of a verse, a line of poetry? And what is the ruling on one who sings some of the verses of the Qur'an with music?

Answer:
This is not permissible; incorporating it is not permissible. Turning it into a song is even more severe; this is mocking the Qur'an, and it is apostasy from the religion of Islam. As for the deception, it is forbidden. It exists in some books, in the books of prosody; some of them contain something where a verse is incorporated such that its beginning is poetry and its end is part of a Qur'anic verse. The scholars have criticized this, and a fatwa was issued by the Permanent Committee for Scholarly Research and Ifta recently prohibiting this. However, if he makes it a song, that is apostasy from Islam, because this is mocking the Book of Allah, mocking the Book of Allah the Exalted, and making the Qur'an poetry. The Qur'an is not poetry; the Qur'an is the speech of the Lord of the worlds, ,
