153- Ruling on hanging Ayahs on walls of rooms
Q: What is the ruling on hanging Ayahs (Qur`anic verses) on the walls of bedrooms? These Ayahs are handmade, written with shiny beads on pieces of material. Advise us please, may Allāh reward you well.
A: If it is for remembrance purposes and the good feeling they give when read, it is permitted. However, if they are hung there to protect and guard from the Jinn (creatures created from fire), then this has no origin in Islām. As for hanging them for remembering Allāh and reading them and obtaining benefit, there is nothing wrong with this according to the more correct of the two opinions maintained by scholars.
