Summary
Hanging Quranic verses or the words Allah and Muhammad to ward off harm, boost business or serve as an amulet is forbidden by scholarly consensus. When hung as decoration and reminder, scholars differ: some consider it disliked, including in the Shafi'i school, while others permit it. The permissive view requires that the verses be honoured, respected and protected from misuse or disrespect.
