If the purpose of marginalia in the is to write meanings, interpretations, or rulings on its margins, then it is permissible. The Salaf and scholars have done so. Scholars have also connected issues to the Mushaf with marginalia, such as the issue of touching it without purification.
If the purpose is to adorn the margin with engravings and other decorations, then that is also permissible.
However, if the purpose is something other than what has been mentioned, it must be clarified in order to rule on it.
