Guidance regarding advertisements and papers in the mosques
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh! What is displayed in the rear of the mosques, such as advertisements, papers, and other things, perhaps you have some guidance on that?
Answer:
It is obligatory that the mosques be kept free of posted items, whether in front of the rows or behind the rows, and free of advertisements and the dhikr recited after the prayer. The Salaf did not do this. The mosques must be free of writings because they distract the worshippers. Whoever wants to teach people good by other than this method should teach them if he has knowledge; he should lecture to them, teach them, and have them memorize the beneficial texts. This is the calling to Allah and teaching people. It is not done through posted items. Nothing is to be posted in the mosques because this distracts the worshippers, and also because it is something the Salaf did not do. As for advertisements, advertisements are to be placed outside the mosque, outside the mosque, not inside the mosque. Yes.

May Allah reward you
