The ruling on writing "Masha'Allah" on cars
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Shaykh, recently the phrase "Masha'Allah" has become widespread on the rear of cars. Is this permissible?
Answer:
This is not permissible if one believes that it is a protective amulet and that it prevents the evil eye from affecting the car. This is not allowed because these are amulets like the ones hung to ward off the evil eye, and this is not permissible. Furthermore, degrading the verses and degrading the remembrance of Allah by writing them on cars or other things is a matter that is not permissible. It is sufficient to have the intention, to rely on Allah, and to supplicate to Allah to protect one's wealth and car. As for the writing, it is not permissible; it is disliked.
