Is it permissible to hang plaques bearing ذكر (remembrance/invocation) in front of worshipers, given the possibility that they may distract them, or should they be placed elsewhere?

Placing the adhkar (remembrances of Allah) in front of worshipers is disliked (). The ruling on hanging Quranic verses and the beautiful names of Allah in mosques has been previously explained: it is permissible, but placing them in the qiblah (direction of prayer) of the worshiper is disliked because it causes distraction to those praying. There is no difference in ruling between hanging Quranic verses and hanging adhkar.
