Ruling on writing the Name of Allah or verses from the Qur'an on tables and the like
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence, some students and employees paste the Name of Allah, or "La ilaha illa Allah," and sometimes the Verse of the Throne on their tables. Is there anything wrong with this?The Shaykh: The table that one leans on?The questioner: Yes, the one that one writes on.
As for writing the Qur'an on the table and then a person leans on it to write or leans on it to rest, this involves a kind of disrespect for the Noble Qur'an, so it should not be written. As for other than the Qur'an, it is less severe, but even so, I do not see a need to write it. Whoever wants to remember the remembrance of Allah, let him remember it in his heart. I fear that he writes "La ilaha illa Allah" and then some of his colleagues come, as is customary, to chat with him and climb on the table without him noticing, or he notices but does not care. So I think nothing should be written on it.
Also, according to the regulations—as far as I know—it is forbidden to write anything on the tables.
The questioner: Do they paste stickers?The Shaykh: Even stickers are not necessary.
