Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: What is the ruling on installing screens in mosques for the purpose of displaying the schedules of lessons and lectures held in this mosque?

Answer:
Whatever distracts the worshippers is not permissible. This includes writing on the walls, which is not permissible. A screen is more distracting than writing on the walls or engravings on the walls, because it distracts the worshippers. Papers are not to be pasted on the interior walls of the mosque because they distract the worshippers. Yes.
