Q: What is the ruling on
the decorations and ornaments where the Glorious Name "Allah"
and the name of Prophet "Muhammad" are engraved? I work in business and I have dealings with some Muslim brothers in some countries. They want to know whether the Glorious Name "Allah" should be written on the right side and the name "Muhammad" on the left side or not?You will find three forms attached to this letter which I want to ask about. Is it permissible to imprint them on crystal glasses and other ornaments? Please advise. May Allah reward you.
A:
It is not permissible to write Basmalah (saying, "Bismillah Al-Rahman, Al-Rahim [In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful]") on ornaments and other decorative items, for the phrase "Bismillah Al-Rahman, Al-Rahim" (Part No. 3; Page No. 27
A:
It is not permissible to write Basmalah (saying, "Bismillah Al-Rahman, Al-Rahim [In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful]") on ornaments and other decorative items, for the phrase "Bismillah Al-Rahman, Al-Rahim" (Part No. 3; Page No. 27) is an Ayah. To write it on such things exposes it to profanation.Also, it is not permissible to write the Glorious Name "Allah" on such things, because this may expose it to profanation. Likewise, the name of the Prophet (peace be upon him) should not be imprinted on these things to protect it from profanation and prevent the overestimation prohibited by the Prophet (peace be upon him).May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
