Is it obligatory to remove and preserve a paper upon which "In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. My Lord, expand for me my breast and make easy for me my affair" is written, affixed to the door of a closed grocery store in a sandy area exposed to flying dust, taking into account the possibility of trespassing, and what is the Shar'i ruling on religious stickers on cars exposed to dirt, such as "Do not forget the remembrance of Allah," "Glory be to Allah the Almighty, glory be to Allah and with His praise," and "Remember Allah, and He will remember you"?

If the paper is affixed in a respectable place, it should not be removed. Its owner can be advised to remove it if the place is inappropriate. There is no harm in placing stickers that remind of Allah and good deeds in respectable places; rather, it is a way of reminding people and inviting them to goodness.
