Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A questioner says: A man treats people from the possession of jinn and shayatin, and he does so by writing hijab and hawaz. His source for this is old books he inherited from his father, and he does not know who authored them. What is the ruling on his work, and what is the ruling on his income from this work?
Answer:
It is not permissible to write hijab and hawaz and hang them on a person; these are amulets. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani) Thus, amulets are a deviation from shirk (associating partners with Allah). And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan an-Nasa'i 4079Da'if (Darussalam) Is it not permissible to hang amulets? On people, or on animals, or on cars, for the sake of protection or for the sake of warding off the evil eye? This is something that is not permissible. And the earnings taken from this are forbidden earnings; because the work is forbidden, so whatever earnings correspond to it are haram (forbidden). Yes.

Answer:
It is not permissible to write hijab and hawaz and hang them on a person; these are amulets. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
spells, charms and love-potions are polytheism
إن الرقى والتمائم والتولة شركand whoever hangs up something (as an amulet) will be entrusted to it
من تعلق تميمة فقد سحر ومن سحر فقد أشرك
