Hanging plaques bearing the names and attributes of Allah on the walls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: Is it permissible to hang plaques on which the names of Allah and His attributes are written on the walls?

Answer:
By Allah, my brothers, it is not permissible. Neither writing verses, nor the names of Allah, nor anything that should be hung on the walls is permissible. This involves disrespecting them and exposing them to disrespect. It is something the Salaf did not do or practice. It is not fitting for us to engage in these actions. What sufficed the righteous Salaf suffices us. We respect and honor the verses of Allah, the names of Allah, and His attributes, keeping them from disrespect and degradation. They are not to be taken as appearances or decorations on walls, on cars, or on anything else. This is not fitting. Yes.
