What is the ruling on those who place the names of Allah the Most Beautiful on the walls of the streets?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Those who hang the names of Allah the Most Beautiful on the walls.
The Shaykh : What is their intention in doing so? Is their intention to make them known to the people, or to seek blessing from them? If their intention is to make them known to the people, then the names must not be the listed names that are known, because they are not authentic; they are included from the words of some narrators. And if their intention is to seek blessing from them, it is not permissible, because seeking blessing from a thing must have a basis in the Shari'ah.
