Also, is it permissible to put the word god next to Allah in
translation to helpthose who may not understand?.
Praise be to Allaah.
There is nothing wrong with hanging Qur'aanic verses for the purpose
of reminding and exhorting, so long as they are put in places that are
appropriate, such as the walls of meeting places and offices, in such
a way that the verses will not be exposed to disrespectful treatment.
In the case of hanging verses in car windows, there is the fear that
they may be exposed to disrespectful treatment and damage, so it is
betternot to do that and to be content with some adhkaar or advice.
Shaykh Ibn Baaz (may Allah have mercy on him) was asked: There are
some who say that hanging soorahs or verses of Qur'aan on the wall is
haraam. Please note that these verses or soorahs are only hung up
because of their virtues, such as Soorah Ya-Seen or Ayat al-Kursiy and
so on. We hope that you can explain the ruling on that; may Allah
reward you with good.
He replied: There is nothing wrong with hanging verses and soorahs on
the wall in offices and meeting placesfor the purpose of providing and
exhorting, according to the correct view. Some contemporary scholars
and others regarded it as makrooh, but there is nothing wrong with
that if it is done for the purpose of reminding and exhorting, and it
is in an appropriate place such as a meeting place or office and the
like.(There is also nothing wrong with) hanging a hadeeth of the
Prophet (blessings and peace of Allah be upon him). All of that is
exhortations and reminders. But if the aim behind it is something
other than that, such as believing that they offer protection from the
jinn orthe evil eye and so on, it isnot permissible to do this with
that intention and that belief, because this is not narrated in
sharee'ah and there is no basis for it.And Allah is the source of
strength.
End quote from Fataawa Islamiyyah.
But if the purpose of hanging it is to translate the meaning of this
soorah or other verses andsoorahs of the Qur'aan, then the issue of
hanging it is less strict with regard to translations because they do
not have the samesanctity as the Qur'aan and do not come under the
same rulings.
And Allah knows best.
