What is the ruling on kissing the name of God (Allah) written on paper, a wall, or the like?
There is no explicit text regarding the ruling on kissing something upon which the name of Allah is written. It is possible that the difference of opinion concerning the ruling on kissing the (Qur'an) applies to it.
The glorification of Allah Almighty is achieved by following His law, not by outward displays or customs. Thus, the glorification of the Mushaf is by reading it and acting upon its contents; the glorification of the mosque is by praying in it; the glorification of that which bears the name of Allah is by removing the paper from a place of disrespect; the glorification of bread is by eating it; and the glorification of a saint is by following him, not by kissing or rubbing against him.
