The Ruling on Decorating Mosques by Writing on Their Walls

Question:
We take a call from Faisal in Riyadh with us. Yes, from Makkah, may Allah reward you with good. From Makkah, please go ahead. Go ahead. Peace be upon you, and Allah’s mercy and blessings. And upon you be peace, and Allah’s mercy. Shaykh Salih, may Allah benefit all of Islam and the Muslims with you, and make that a source of good deeds for you in the mosque of Banu [name unclear] that was recently built in our neighborhood, and they wrote on all its walls on the inside: Allah, Muhammad, Allah, Muhammad, Allah, Muhammad, on all the walls out of ignorance. Is this permissible? And is it permissible to pray in it? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
Writing inside the mosque is disliked, because this distracts the worshippers and makes the mosque look like a museum. The mosque should be kept free of writings and prepared for prayer and the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). Yes.
