Placing A Copy Of the Qur'an In the Car and Other
Specific Place, Hoping That This Will Bring Blessings


Question :

Some people hang verses of the Qur'an or Prophetic Hadiths on the wall of their office, restaurant, or bedroom.

On hospital and clinic walls one often finds these verses:
"And when I am ill, it is He who cures me."
And the like.

Does this fall under the same ruling as hanging charms which are forbidden in the Shari'ah? Especially considering that most people hang up verses hoping to welcome blessings and drive away the Shaytan? However, some people hang up these verses simply as a reminder for others to remember Allâh Almighty. Also, what about putting a copy of the Qur'an in one's car, hoping to attract blessings?


Answer:

When the objective of what the questioner asked is to remind people, and teach them what is beneficial then there is no harm in that. If the objective is to attract blessings or to repel the Shaytan or Jinns, I know of no basis for this in the Shari'ah.

The same for placing the Mushaf in a car in order to seek blessings. This has no basis and has not been permitted. But if one places a copy of the Qur'an in one's car so that he or other passengers may recite from it, then obviously, this is something good which there is no harm in. And with Allâh is the facilitation to do what is right.
