Question:
He says: Hanging dhikr and du'a' in the mosques in front of people to remind them of them, what is its ruling?
Answer:
This is an action that no one from the Salaf (the earliest generations) preceded in; they did not hang boards or pages in the mosques. This is an ijtihad (independent legal reasoning) by some of the youth, may Allah guide them. The obligatory thing is that the mosques be free from such hangings and from advertisements, so that they do not distract the worshippers. Whoever wants to teach people the dhikr, he should teach them by instruction; he should teach them by instruction, and not distribute a message or a correct book; he may distribute it to them. As for hanging them, no. Yes.
