Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The question is about the ruling on hanging shoes, a hand, and some animals like dogs and cats in cars, out of fear of the evil eye or envy?
Answer:
This is among the invalid amulets and seeking help from other than Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). So it is not permissible to place the shoe, the hand, or any of the heads of animals. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and relying on other than Allah (Mighty and Majestic). The One who repels evils and brings about good is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). He is the One in whose hand is the good, and He is the One who repels and removes harm, and prevents harm and disease. It is Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He). So it is obligatory to attach hearts to Allah, to rely upon Allah, and to worship Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). It is not permissible to turn to these matters and believe that they benefit or harm from Allah, other than Allah, or that they are causes for bringing about good, or causes for repelling evil. For Allah has not made them causes. Rather, the true cause is reliance upon Allah and depending upon Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
