The answer

In summary: Hanging Qur'anic calligraphy on walls involves some details, and it is advisable not to draw and write Qur'anic verses on plaques and sell them, because some people use them to ward off evil and attract sustenance, which has no basis in Islamic law. To close this door, writing and selling verses should not be a profession, but if it is absolutely necessary, then one should be careful to sell them only to those who will acquire them properly.
