The ruling on writing the Name of Allah on car windows or walls

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Among the questions that have come in, the questioner Abu Ibrahim says: In our time, certain phrases have become common on the rear windows of cars, such as "Remember Allah," "Masha'Allah," and "Subhan Allah."

The Shaykh:
It is not appropriate to write dhikr (remembrance of Allah) on walls, in streets, or on car license plates, because this exposes the remembrance of Allah to being disrespected. The remembrance of Allah is not by writing it on walls or plates; it is with the hearts and the tongues. Whoever wants to remember Allah should do so with his tongue and his heart, and not write it on walls or elsewhere. Yes.

The presenter:
Honorable Shaykh, among the questions, Umm Abdullah asks: What is the meaning of the hadith, "A person is upon the religion of his close friend"?

The Shaykh:
Before that, a completion of the first answer.

The presenter:
Yes, Shaykh.

The Shaykh:
If the one who hangs these dhikr on his car or on himself, or intends by it protection, these are amulets. This is from hanging amulets and talismans, and this is not permissible.
