156- Ruling on hanging Ayahs and Hadiths for reminding of Allāh
Q: Is it permitted to hang Surahs (Qur`anic chapters) or authentic Hadiths on the doors of houses, for example Ayat-ul-Kursy (the Qur`anic Verse of Allāh's Chair, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255) or the Mu`awwidhatayn (Surahs Al-Falaq and Al-Nas), or any Ayah (verse) from the Qur`an? The reason behind it is the love of the Qur`an and Prophetic Hadiths. Is this permitted? This is a very common practice which is widely spread in a lot of places.
A: There is no objection to hanging Qur`anic Ayahs and Prophetic Hadiths in houses and offices, all this is permitted; as long as it is for the purpose of reminding, admonishing and giving benefit. They must not be taken as amulets to protect from the Jinn (creatures created from fire) or similar reasons; rather, they are hung for remembrance and benefit.
