Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And if the Shaykh is asked about the names of institutions or companies that are requested, or the clocks that are found in the mosque, then the first thing regarding names is to take care of Allah.
Answer:
Yes, it is obligatory to erase these things. If the clock is for the benefit of the public, there is no harm in it, but the advertisement or the company’s logo, which they call advertisements, these are erased and left as they are. Likewise, if there is any advertising or writing on the wall clocks, this thing is erased.
