Summary
Calligraphy of Quranic verses is permitted provided it is written correctly and can be read. Excessive decoration that confuses or makes reading difficult for the reader is prohibited. The script must not be mixed with other verses in a confusing way, and the verses must not be broken up so as to distort or change their meaning. Calligraphic forms that defeat the purpose of the Quran being revealed, namely to be read, understood and reflected upon, are also prohibited.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
