The ruling on hanging Qur'anic verses on the walls of mosques and homes
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Now, what is the ruling on writing Qur'anic verses and pasting them on mosques or homes?
The Shaykh:
At the very least, it is disliked; because it distracts the worshippers, harms them, and confuses them. Mosques should be free of these things so that the worshippers are not confused by the readings, writings, and drawings on the walls. Yes.
The presenter:
Even in the bedroom.
The questioner:
Inside, Shaykh.
The Shaykh:
Mosques are the ones that should be kept free of this.
The presenter:
Because of the worshippers' remembrance, whereas the home is a broader matter.
The Shaykh:
Yes, perhaps the verses remind him of the prayer or of humility, or of some of the hadiths that... Our predecessors did not do this in the mosques.
