Pasting Hadiths and Dhikr on Walls and Doors
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, some of the brothers write certain hadiths and dhikr on pieces of paper and paste them on the walls of mosques, on doors, and everywhere. Is this practice in accordance with the Shari'ah, or is it contrary to the Sunnah?
Answer:
This is also a form of degrading the hadiths and the verses. My brother, if you want to benefit the Muslims, distribute a book or a treatise to them, or read to them in the mosque, or make it a large display.
As for hanging papers on the walls, people do not care about anything but the walls. If it is a commercial advertisement, they pile up on it and trample it. But if it is a verse or a hadith, they do not care about it and do not pay attention to it. So you have degraded the Qur'an and the Sunnah by hanging them on these things without any benefit being derived from them. This is an action that, even if its practitioners have good intentions, is not appropriate. It is not appropriate in light of the texts of the Shari'ah. Conveying the da'wah is not done in this way. Conveying the da'wah is done through reading, preaching, and reminding. Yes.
