The ruling on writing "Masha'Allah" and "La ilaha illa Allah" on buildings

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks about writing or saying "Masha'Allah, Tabaarak Allah" and also "La ilaha illa Allah," specifically writing them on buildings and cars.

Answer:
There is no basis for writing dhikr or verses on buildings or cars. There is no basis for this. This also exposes them to desecration; it exposes this writing of the verse or the dhikr to desecration. This was not the practice of the Salaf. They did not write them until recently. They did not write dhikr on cars, nor on animals, nor on buildings. They only wrote them in their hearts and on their tongues. Yes.
