Wall hangings in the home

Wa Alaikumus Salaam

As with most Islamic rulings that are not specifically addressed in the Quran or Sunnah, you can usually find multiple opinions.

I generally try to get all opinions and go with the one I think has the most proof or evidence. Therefore, I use to sites that I know generally operate from different ends of the spectrum.

For the most strict view, I usually go to islamqa.com. I researched your question there, and as I expected, the sheikh said hanging the Quran on your wall is forbidden. Here are his reasons:

1. It is bidah and wasn't practiced by the Prophet of Allah (pbuh)
2. Sometimes these pictures are made with expensive material and involves wasting money.
3. It may lead to disrespect of the Quran.

For the other end, I usually go to islam-online.net. They usually give a more liberal interpretation of Islamic law. The sheikh there said it is permissible to hang verses of the Quran on your wall. His reasons are:

1. Scholars over the centuries have approved this time and time again.
2. These hangings may act as spiritual reminders.
3. Calligraphy is an Islamic art and these hangings are certainly better than what most people hang in their homes.

I tried to be as fair to both sides as I could. I encourage you to do more research and view all of the evidence provided. However, I will not give my opinion as it really doesn't mean much.

And Allah knows best.
