What is the ruling on placing verses on walls, especially if they are for remembrance and the like?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : It is known specifically... meaning, clearly on the walls, or is this not the case at all? For example, I have a shop, and it might be permissible in this case for the sake of reminding women. I would write the verse about the jilbab or the khimar, or some hadiths on this, for example, on a plastic board or something?
The Shaykh : It is possible, but do not decorate it; write it in a legible script. This is one of the means of education.
The questioner : But some women have come to me more than once and objected, saying: You are trading in your buying and selling with these verses. Is this not permissible?
The Shaykh : What kind of thing is this, I mean?
The questioner : I understood that you originally remove these... they trade with the verses on their goods, they trade with their goods using these verses...? ... They take a part of Surat al-Hadid that relates to clothing, and they take verses from Surat al-Nur or from Surat al-Ahzab, and the doctor... from such-and-such a surah, so each one cuts out and takes the part that benefits him and has an interest... this is the basis on which people say that he is trading in it, that he takes every part...?
The Shaykh : There is nothing wrong with it... those who print the mushaf or copy it, or so on... those who print and copy... and so on, meaning, if Allah wills, they will say what they say, and it is ignorance and the imposition of personal opinions and psychological desires!
