What is the ruling on hanging Quranic panels on house walls?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Contemporary scholars differ on the ruling regarding hanging Quranic verses on walls. One group prohibits it due to the loss of the Qur'an's reverence and the normalization of looking at it, and the fear that the verses might be exposed to disrespect or placed in locations where forbidden acts occur. Another group permits it, considering it a reminder of the Qur'an and potentially influential upon the viewer. It is preferable to avoid hanging them in places of forbidden acts, and to choose respectful places if it is absolutely necessary to hang them.
