Is using the phrase "إني لأجد ريح بن علي لولا أن تفندون" - as a quote from the Holy Quran with a word changed - considered a distortion of the Holy Quran or a mockery of it?
It is permissible to quote from the Holy Quran if it is for legitimate purposes, such as admonition, contemplation, and improving speech. It is forbidden if it is used in the context of flirtation, jest, or anything contrary to creed. Some scholars have permitted quoting if the intention is to glorify the Quran and praise the , citing examples from the predecessors. However, placing Quranic verses in corrupt speech, such as in the books of innovators, is forbidden. It is prohibited to use Quranic verses out of their correct context, such as saying "And I hastened to You, O Moses," especially if it involves sarcasm or a disparity between the original meaning of the verse and the speaker's situation.
