What is the ruling on placing signs on highways that carry the remembrance of Allah?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : 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"?
The Shaykh : These signs that are found on the roads are permissible; they serve as a reminder.
However, there are people who write very indecent words on bridges. It is not permissible to approve of such things; they must be erased because they are words that are not befitting for a person, let alone that these are roads where people come from every country, and this results in a bad reputation for the Saudi people, that they are a low and base people. And perhaps the writer of these bad words is a malicious person. Yes.
