The ruling on placing a device for dhikr at the doors of the mosque

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: There is a device outside the mosque and at the door of the mosque that calls out the dhikr prescribed for entering and exiting. Is there any harm in placing it at the gates of the mosque?

Answer:
Yes, this is not permissible; because it is imposing what Allah has not authorized. The one who enters the mosque is the one who remembers Allah. He puts his right foot forward and says: In the name of Allah, I seek refuge in Allah the Great, and in His noble face, and His ancient authority, from the rejected Satan. O Allah, forgive my sins and open for me the doors of Your mercy. And when exiting, he puts his left foot forward and says the same, except that he says: and open for me the doors of Your favor. So do not let people rely on these things, thinking that the common people believe that this is sufficient. This is not sufficient. This is an invented matter, an innovation. Yes.
