The Ruling on Hanging Dhikr Boards in Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Your Eminence, father. The questioner says: It has become widespread in some mosques to place boards in front of the worshippers with the dhikr (remembrance of Allah) recited after prayer written on them. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
My brothers, it is not permissible to write in mosques or to hang writings in mosques. This is a form of frivolity, something from which we have been prohibited, and something that distracts the worshippers. This is not how knowledge is taught. Knowledge is not taught through stickers. Knowledge is taught through lessons, lectures, and seminars, not through stickers that are posted. Therefore, mosques must be cleared of these stickers and hangings. Yes.
