Is it permissible to place the name “The Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) Campaign for Hajj and 'Umrah” on covers, seats, and mats?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Shaykh, some of our brothers have a campaign called “The Tawhid (Oneness of Allah) Campaign for Hajj and 'Umrah.” Is it permissible for them to place this name on the covers of the mats, seats, and so on?

The Shaykh : In any case, there is nothing in this phrase that implies veneration, but its meaning is such that a person might come, for example, and say, “Look, they are using tawhid (the oneness of Allah) as a mat and making it a blanket, and the like.” So I do not think it should remain as you described. It is fine on a tent, for example, but not on the mats. Even though the phrase itself is not disrespectful, I fear the meaning.

The presenter : May Allah bless you.

The Shaykh : The point is, they should not place it on the mats or on… Yes, that is right.
