The ruling on hanging verses and supplications on walls and in cars

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Companies or factories. They place advertisements along with car advertisements.

The Shaykh:
Hanging supplications and verses on walls, or in cars, or in houses, or on roads, has no basis in the practice of the Salaf. It is a new thing and a new imposition. It also exposes them to insult; it is an insult to the Qur'an and an insult to the hadiths. This is something that should not be done. Dhikr and verses are to be preserved in the hearts and spoken with the tongues; they are not to be hung on sheets of paper. Perhaps some people also intend evil by this, intending that hanging a verse in a car or in a house will prevent theft and protect the house. This is a bad belief. The conclusion is that the Qur'anic texts and the Prophetic hadiths are to be protected from this desecration, from this practice. Yes.

Another questioner:
The form of the ideas present.

The Shaykh:
No, absolutely not. The one who does not remember except by the boards is not remembering. The one who has no faith is the one for whom the remembrance of Allah is not beneficial through the boards. Rather, he looks at them as art, and that his calligraphy is good. Yes, indeed. And Allah the Exalted knows best, and may Allah send blessings and peace upon the Messenger.
