The ruling on hanging boards in mosques containing dhikr

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, on this occasion, in some mosques there are boards at the back or the front of the mosque that say, "Read the morning and evening dhikr," or "These are the narrated hadiths." These are weak hadiths. What is your opinion on this?

Answer:
This is an action on their part without permission from the scholars and without permission from the authority responsible for the mosques. It is not permissible to hang dhikr in the mosques, or to hang supplications or anything else in them; because this distracts the worshippers. It distracts the worshippers. The worshipper dislikes looking at the writing or reading the writing while he is praying. So this is something that causes the worshippers to look at these hung items and be distracted from their prayer, even though there is no basis for it in this form. Yes.
