What is the ruling on hanging pictures or verses on the walls for decoration?

Question:
What is the ruling on hanging surahs or some verses on the walls as decoration, such as the Verse of the Throne, the narrated supplications, or the chapters of protection?

Answer:
By Allah, this is what one should not do with the Qur'an, making it into decorations and ornaments and hanging it in sitting rooms. This is truly a disrespect to the Qur'an. Even though some scholars, like our Shaykh 'Abd al-Baz (may Allah have mercy on him), do not see any harm in this, his intention is good. He says that this reminds people, and that there is a benefit in it. We say that even if there is a partial benefit, the harm is greater than the benefit because of the desecration of the Qur'an involved. The Qur'an is made into panels that are bought and sold, hung on roads, where it is exposed to filth, falls to the ground, and is trampled. The Qur'an should be preserved in the chests of people, written in mushafs, and kept safe, not written on these roads that are subject to what happens to them. Yes. How many times have we seen a fallen panel being trampled on, or birds falling on it and defiling it? The Qur'an should be protected from such things. Dust and dirt accumulate on it. This is truly a disrespect to the Noble Qur'an.
Their intention is only for decoration and ornamentation. Their intention is not to remind people, except what Allah wills. We do not say that all of them are like this. Some of them intend to remind people. But this reminder is a partial benefit that leads to many harms regarding the Noble Qur'an.
We do not advise hanging the Qur'an. As for in mosques, this is prohibited by everyone because it distracts the worshippers. Writing, whether of the Qur'an or otherwise, in mosques is prohibited, and decorations in mosques are prohibited. Yes.
