What is the ruling on playing with a ball if it touches Quranic verses and the name of Allah drawn on the wall of the schoolyard, and does the one who wrote it bear the sin?

Muslims are in agreement regarding the obligation to revere the Quran. The majority of jurists disliked writing it in places where it might be exposed to disrespect, such as on walls and curtains, and they forbade writing it in places where it is actually disrespected. Therefore, if playing in the place would lead to the desecration of the verses and the name of Allah the Almighty, then it is not permissible to play there. Those in charge must prevent anything that disrespects or erases what is written.
