Placing stickers of dhikr and verses on cars and in public places

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: What is the ruling on placing stickers that contain these phrases, such as "Bismillah," or "Tubaaraka Allah," or "Maa Sha Allah," on cars, doors, and in public places?

Answer:
This is a phenomenon that has appeared recently: hanging dhikr and verses on the roads. Some scholars approve of it, saying that it reminds people of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) and alerts them. Shaykh Ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) approved of this. However, the reality is that the Salaf did not practice this. This is an action that the Salaf did not do. Also, perhaps bid'ah (religious innovations) and other things are hung, which opens the door. It opens the door. And a third aspect is that it exposes it to insult. This hanging is exposed to insult. Yes.
