The answer

It is not permissible to place the Noble Qur’an in the foundations of buildings or in places that are not befitting its status, as this contradicts the glorification of Allah’s sanctities and rituals. It is obligatory to respect and venerate the Book of Allah and to elevate its standing, and to beware of insulting it or placing it in inappropriate places. As for placing the Qur’an on the facade or the inaugural plaque of projects, it is better not to do so. If it is placed, then it is not permissible to leave it in a place exposed to the sun and dust after the inauguration.
