Mother Places Qur’aan Next to Her Baby For Protection!

بسم الله الرحمن الرحيم

In The Name of Allaah, The Most Merciful, The Bestower of Mercy.

Question: What is your view O noble Shaykh regarding a woman who places a copy of the Qur’aan next to her baby intending protection from the Jinn, whilst she is either busy or when she leaves him by himself?

Answer: This is not permissible, because in this is a belittlement of the Noble Mushaf.  Also it is not a legislated act. [Source: Shaykh Al Fawzaan – Al fataawaa al Hasaan fee ahkaam wa aadaab wa fadaa-il al Quraan p.70]
