What is the ruling on having the word “allaah” and the word “ muhammad ” written in an interwoven fashion on the door of a mosque?
Among what the Islamic shari’ahasserts is the binding and coupling of the testimony of oneness for Allah and the testimony of the calling and message of prophet Muhammad(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). Examples of such linking are in theadhanforsalaatand in theiqaamahfor it. Additionally, in ahadiththe prophet(peace be upon him) teaches:
“Islam was builtupon five pillars: to witness that there is no deity except Allah, and that Muhammad is the messenger of Allah… .”It represents what amukallaf(one who is legally capable, liable for one’s actions, and obliged to perform required acts, which in Islamic law,shari’ah, starts at puberty) is required to believe. It must be understood together, and are pronounced together as a testimony of belief. As for writing it interwoven, nothing is available neither in the Book of Allah nor in theSunnahof the Prophet(peace and blessings of Allah be upon him). As a result, there is great danger in this. For it has a resemblance to the false precept in the Christian faith of trinity, and the concept that the father and the son and the holy spirit are one deity. Further, it could be construed as an emblem representing the false faith of the unity of existence. In addition, it may be used as support for the extremism in the Prophetand worshipping him with Allah.
Therefore, writing the name of Allah (the Most High) with the name of his prophet Mohammed (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) in this way, i.e. making the letters of their names interwoven and the crossing of the letters of each of their names with the other, must be prevented. It is even not permissible to write (Allah - Muhammad) on the door of themasjid,nor in other locations, due to the confusion, misrepresentation, and serious concerns described and warned of above.
