What is the ruling on hanging instructional signs in the mosque?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : Instructional signs regarding the manner of prayer.
The Shaykh : What do you mean?
The questioner : Instructional signs regarding the manner of prayer, meaning, for example: a sign showing how to straighten the rows. We suppose we make a sign and hang it for a time, then we take it down and hang another to teach people the manner of prayer, for example, or something of that sort. Is this prescribed?
The Shaykh : It is prescribed, provided it is not on the qiblah.
The questioner : Because sometimes there is a need for instructional matters that are not for decoration or adornment, but to guide people and teach them specific things.
The Shaykh : There is no objection to the mosque being used for this.
The questioner : Even with pictures, or without pictures?
The Shaykh : Hehehe.
