What is the ruling on hanging Qur'an verses and dhikr in cars and homes?

Question : What is the ruling on hanging things containing any of the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, such as verses and hadiths, whether in cars or on the walls of homes? Please inform us, may Allah reward you with good?

Answer : As for the Qur'an, it is not to be hung, neither in homes nor in cars. As for dhikr, there is no harm in hanging it to remind people. For example, one might hang the supplication for expiation when leaving the home, which is the expiation for the gathering: "Subhanaka Allahumma wa bihamdika, ashhadu an la ilaha illa anta, astaghfiruka wa atubu ilayk." In the car, some people place a ball with the travel supplication and the supplication for riding written on it; this is permissible. But the Qur'an is not to be hung. The Qur'an is to be respected. Especially since some people have started making the writing of the Qur'an look like a tattoo, meaning engravings, so that when you look at it, you do not have time to read it because some of it overlaps with other parts. It must be in a specific form, like a palace, a mosque, or a minaret, or something similar. And this is wrong. If the scholars disagreed on whether it is permissible to write the Qur'an other than in the Uthmanic script, how can it be written as if it were engravings?
