The Ruling on Using Quotes from the Qur'an for Common Speech
Question :
Is it permissible to speak using the Qur'an; what I mean. by this, for example, to say when you meet somebody, "Peace be upon you, a Word from the Lord (Allah), Most Merciful," (Surah Ya Sin 36:58)? This is similar to what the woman did in the famous story related by 'Abdullah bin Al- Mubarak.
Answer:
What is known among the scholars is that the Qur'an is not to be used in normal speech. Speech is one matter, and the Qur'an is another. At the very least such behavior is Makruh (disliked). Rather one should say the traditional greeting, as the Prophet ﷺ did with his Companions, may Allâh be pleased with them: "Peace be upon you and the mercy and blessings of Allâh" and: "And upon you also be the peace, mercy and blessing of Allah." This is the customary greeting that should be used in daily speech.
