What is the ruling on hanging Qur'anic verses on the walls?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Honorable Shaykh, is it lawful or forbidden to hang Qur'anic verses on the walls?
The Shaykh : Hanging verses on the walls is a bid'ah (religious innovation). This is because the righteous Salaf (earliest generations) did not do it, and because a person might rely on the verse to be a protective charm for him, and because this involves a degree of disrespect in making the Noble Qur'an a design or ornament for the walls, for it is too noble to be treated in that way.
