What is the ruling on praying in a mosque that has carpets adorned with the majestic word "Allah"?
Source: FtawySummarized from the full answer at Ftawy · imported Sep 2, 2026
It is not permissible to furnish a mosque with carpets inscribed with the name of Allah (SWT) or "Muhammad, Messenger of Allah," due to the potential for dishonor resulting from their being trodden upon and prayed on. The Permanent Committee for Issuing Fatwas has issued a ruling prohibiting the import of such carpets, in order to block any means that could lead to violating the sacred injunctions of Allah. Consequently, going to another mosque is valid, and those responsible for the mosque's affairs should be advised of the necessity of removing these carpets.
