Placing Signs, Dhikr, and the Names of the Companions in Mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Your Excellency the Shaykh, a questioner says: What is the ruling, Your Excellency the Shaykh, on placing some boards with the dhikr of prayer and some daily recitations in the mosques, whether in the qiblah direction or in the eastern part of the mosques?
The Shaykh:
This is prohibited in the mosques. No writings are to be placed in the mosques, no boards, no papers, and not on the walls. The mosques should be kept free of writings so as not to distract the worshippers. Yes.
The questioner:
Likewise, Your Excellency the Shaykh, he asks about placing some boards with the names of the Companions (may Allah be pleased with them), some of the Tabi'un, some of the shaykhs, and others.
The Shaykh:
Likewise, the mosques should be kept free of writings and names. Perhaps an ignorant person will come and believe that these names benefit or harm, and he will call upon them instead of Allah.
The presenter:
May Allah reward you
