The ruling on writing the remembrance of Allah on road signs
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Your Eminence! What is the ruling on placing signs on long roads that have written on them—for example—“Subhan Allah” (Glory be to Allah) or “Remember Allah”?
These signs that are found on the roads are permissible, for they serve as a reminder.
However, there are people who write very indecent words on bridges. Such things are not permissible to condone; rather, they must be erased. This is because they are words that are not befitting a human being, let alone that these are roads where people come from every country. This results in a bad reputation for the Saudi people, that they are a low and base people. Perhaps the writer of these bad words is doing so with malicious intent.
