Question:
Peace be upon you. What is the ruling on hanging up the transmitted dhikr and supplications to remind people? For example, the supplication for arriving home is placed at the home of the residents, as well as for leaving, and the expiation for the gathering and its negation.

Answer:
By Allah, this is something the righteous Salaf did not do, so it should not be opened up. Perhaps bad beliefs will come with it, where people think this is for the protection of the home, and it is like hanging up amulets. The Salaf were more eager for good than we are and knew more than we do, yet they did not do these things. Yes.
