The Ruling on Hanging the Supplication for the Expiation of the Gathering in Assemblies

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it prescribed to hang the supplication for the expiation of the gathering in assemblies to remind people of it?

Answer:
This is a newly invented matter that was not known before. Hanging dhikr (remembrance of Allah), verses, and sermons, all of this is a newly invented matter. What is the original practice? Perhaps this becomes a means of them being disrespected and degraded. They teach people these matters; they do not leave them to hanging papers. They teach these matters and have them memorized. They say, for example, a mu'adhdhin (caller to prayer) calls from a paper. And the one who saw it complained to the imam. The imam said, "As-salamu alaykum" (Peace be upon you), and the person came out with a paper and said, "Wa alaykum as-salam, O paper." These are matters a person learns; they are not written and hung up. Yes, they rely on these hanging papers and do not memorize these dhikr. Yes.
