The Meaning of the Hadith: "Ruqyah, Amulets, and Talismans Are Shirk"

Question:
We return to the questions that have reached the program. This one asks: What is the meaning of the hadith, "Ruqyah, amulets, and talismans are shirk (associating partners with Allah)"? And is there also a way to reconcile this hadith with the hadith, "Whoever among you can benefit his brother, let him do so"?

Answer:
There is no benefit in these, my brother. These are means of shirk (associating partners with Allah) and contain no benefit. Shirk-based ruqyah, shirk-based invocations involving jinn or Shayatins, and talismans—which are hung to ward off the evil eye or envy, as they believe—involve a lack of reliance upon Allah through tawhid (the oneness of Allah). This applies to ruqyah, talismans, and "tawilah." Tawilah is something they claim causes a woman to love her husband and a husband to love his wife. All of these are forbidden matters. Yes.
