Question:
What is the ruling regarding covering the janaazah with a cloth on which verses of the Qur’an are written?
Answer:
In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.
As-Salāmu ‘Alaykum Wa-Rahmatullāhi Wa-Barakātuh.
Respected Brother/Sister in Islam,
There is no basis for this practice in Shari’ah and it is against the dignity and respect of the Qur’aan, one should completely refrain from it.
And Allah Ta’ala Knows Best.
