Is there anywhere inappropriate to put Qurans or quranic calligraphy? For example is it inappropriate to put Qurans or calligraphy where the back faces when praying or even in the direction of the Qibla? Also if one has many visitors and a need arises, would it be inappropriate to allow guests to sleep in the room even if it primarily serves as a Musallah?\\n\"}]}","answer":"{\"ops\":[{\"insert\":\"When it comes to placing Qur’ans or Qur’anic calligraphy, it is not considered inappropriate to position them in a way where your back faces them during prayer or even in the direction of the qiblah. The main concern is ensuring that the Qur’ans are stored respectfully, such as on a high shelf or in a clean and secure location, away from places where they might be mishandled or disrespected. Qur’anic calligraphy should similarly be placed thoughtfully, in a way that maintains its dignity.  \\n\\nIf the musallah needs to be used for other purposes, such as accommodating guests, it is permissible as long as the area is kept clean and free from anything disrespectful, like inappropriate behavior or substances. For example, allowing guests to sleep in the musallah is acceptable if it is a practical necessity, provided the sanctity of the space is preserved.  \\n\\nIn general, it is important to maintain the cleanliness of the musallah and ensure it is free from najasah (impurities). While it is ideal to dedicate the space solely for prayer, it is permissible to use the space for other purposes when needed, as long as the sanctity of the area is not compromised.\\n\"}]}","tags":[{"_id":"668d9fe30b76658b4c232826","tag":"Worship: Etiquettes","count":79},{"_id":"668d9fdf0b76658b4c232798","tag":"Quran: Etiquettes","count":63},{"_id":"668d9fe10b76658b4c2327d3","tag":"Worship: Masjids, Mosques, and Musallahs","count":50}],"createdOn":"2025-05-06T01:54:30.511Z"}
