The answer

It is disliked to write Quranic verses on the walls of houses or on placards affixed to doors, for fear of their desecration. This is the opinion of many scholars. Some contemporary scholars disliked writing the Quran on electronic devices, while others permitted it on condition that it is not desecrated, as a reminder of Allah Almighty. Care should be taken to venerate the Quran and keep it pure by not taking it into the restroom or by closing it. It is preferable not to use the Quran as a background for a card that is then written upon, and to write the verse clearly at the top of the page.
