Pasting Hadiths and Dhikr on Walls and Doors

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of the brothers write some hadiths and dhikr on pieces of paper and paste them on the walls of mosques, on doors, and everywhere. Is this practice in accordance with the Shari'ah, or is it contrary to the Sunnah?

Answer:
This is also a form of disrespecting the hadiths and verses, my brother. If you want to benefit the Muslims, distribute a book or a pamphlet to them, or read to them in the mosque and admonish them. As for hanging papers on the walls, if it is a commercial advertisement, people might look at it and pay attention to it. But if it is a verse or a hadith, they do not trade with it and do not pay attention to it. In that case, you have disrespected the Qur'an and the Sunnah by hanging them on these things without any benefit being derived from them. This is an action that, although its doers may have good intentions, is not appropriate in light of the Shari'ah texts. Conveying the da'wah is not done in this manner; conveying the da'wah is done through reading, admonition, and reminding.
