The ruling on amulets if they are from the Qur'an

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. Shaykh, regarding writing ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), what is the ruling on writing verses and hanging them around the neck of the sick person?

Answer:
No, there is scholarly disagreement on this, and the correct view is that it is not permissible, because this is one of the amulets. Amulets, ruqyah, and witchcraft are shirk (associating partners with Allah). So do not hang them, because a person relies on them and thinks that they are what will cure him. But reciting directly over the sick person, this is what is prescribed, and this is the correct ruqyah. Yes.
