Writing Qur'anic verses in the mihrabs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on the Qur'anic verses that are written in the mihrabs?
Answer:
It is not permissible to write the Qur'an on walls, generally. If it is written in mosques, that is more severe because it distracts the worshippers, especially if it is in the mihrabs; this is not permissible. They may write a verse in a context where it does not belong,[Ali 'Imran 3:39], is this the mihrab where Maryam was and the verse was revealed?
What is correct is that the mihrab among the previous nations is the place of prayer, called a mihrab. The place where one prays is called a mihrab. Perhaps the mihrab is the arch in the qiblah of the mosque. This is true among the Muslims. As for the previous nations, the place where they prayed was called a haram.
