Ruling on Hanging Qur'anic Surahs and Verses on the Wall
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A message was received for the program from the land of Zahran, sent by our brother Atiyyah Ramadan al-Zahrani. He says: “O His Eminence the Shaykh: Some people say that hanging Qur'anic surahs or verses on the wall is forbidden, knowing that these verses or surahs are not placed there except for their virtues, such as Surah Ya-Sin, the Verse of the Throne, and others. Therefore, we hope you will clarify the ruling on this? May Allah reward you with good.”
Answer:
Hanging verses or surahs on walls, in the office or in the sitting room, for the sake of reminder and admonition is permissible according to the correct view. Some scholars of the present age and others have disliked hanging them, but there is no blame in it. If it is for the sake of reminder and admonition, there is nothing wrong with it, provided the place is respectable, such as the sitting room or the office, or the like. Or if a hadith of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), or hadiths, are hung, all of which contain admonition and reminder.
However, if the intention is other than that, if his intention is that they protect him from the jinn or protect him from the evil eye, or the like, then it is not permissible with this intention and this belief; because this has not been transmitted in the Shari'ah, and it has no basis to rely upon. Yes.
