Reading from a paper in the final tashahhud

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: I saw a man placing a paper in front of him during the final tashahhud, with the tashahhud written on it for him to read. He asks: Is this action permissible?

Answer:
No, it is not permissible. The one praying does not read from writing, neither from walls nor from the mushaf, except the mushaf if he needs it, if he needs the mushaf. As for reading letters or reading things or writings on the walls while he is praying, this is not permissible. Yes.
