Question: Is it permissible to hang verses of the Quraan and Prophetic supplications on the walls of the house? Response: Hanging verses (of the Quraan) which are written or Ahadeeth and supplications, all of this was not from the actions of the Salaf. They did not write the verses, Ahadeeth and supplications and then attach them to the walls. Rather they used to memorise them and act upon them and honour them with the utmost respect and write them in the books. As for hanging the verses, ahadeeth and supplications then this is not allowed especially the verses of the Quraan for surely hanging them (on the walls) is exposing them to improper treatment as that which is attached might fall from the wall and get trodden on and be degraded.... (From the answer to a similar question (question 66)) And some people hang them for decoration and beautification of the scenery and they might even hang them next to an impermissible picture. And maybe it will be engraved or written in various art forms, so it might be written on a picture of a lamp or a drinking glass or even something which is worse than that like an animal or a bird or butterfly and other than this. All of this is playing idly with the book of Allah.......... Al Mutaqaa min Fatawaa Shaykh Fawzaan (2/77-79) Translated by akh Hasan as Somali (Please also refer to the fatawa of Sheikh ibn Uthaymeen who also explains that it is not permissable to hang verses, ayats of the Quraan on the walls) SalafiTalk.Net : http://www.salafitalk.net/st Topic: http://www.salafitalk.net/st/viewmessages.cfm?Forum=6&Topic=2354 > ---------- > From: best wishes[SMTP:[EMAIL PROTECTED] > Reply To: islamcity@yahoogroups.com > Sent: Thursday, May 19, 2005 11:12 PM > To: Allah alone; [EMAIL PROTECTED]; islam city; > [EMAIL PROTECTED]; [EMAIL PROTECTED] > Subject: [IslamCity] Fwd: Re: Ruling on Hanging Quranic Verses > > <<Message: Re: It is Disliked to Hang Verses Of...>> > > > Note: forwarded message attached. > > > "And strain not your eyes in longing for the things We have given for > enjoyment to various groups of them [polytheists], the splendour of the > life in this world, that We may test them thereby."
