Is it ok to quote half verses from Quran?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Askimam.org

can I quote a half verse from Quran or not? For example people usually omit the “Qala” from verses of Surah Ta’ha (25-28). Here is a snapshot

My question is that is it ok or we have to use the word “Qala”.

Allah Hafiz

Answer

In the Name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful.

As-salāmu ‘alaykum wa-rahmatullāhi wa-barakātuh.

The word “qāla” prior to the du‘ā of Musa ‘alaihis salam means, “he said.” As such, if one intends to make du‘ā or refer to the du‘ā, then the word “qāla” will not be read. Similarly, if one intends to highlight a portion of a verse, he may suffice on reciting that only.[1] 

And Allah Ta’āla Knows Best
