Questions on the Explanation of the Book of Nullifiers of Islam

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
We have a Sufi man who writes papers for women and children, and he orders the women to place these papers near the children's adhan, or near their heads. These papers are called the *bakiyyah*.

The Shaykh:
The *abakiyyah*. The *bakiyyah*. The *bakiyyah*? Yes, indeed. Yes.

The questioner:
He writes verses, poems, and supplications that are not narrated from the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him). The question is: What is the ruling on these papers and these supplications?

The Shaykh:
Yes, there are deluded people with corrupt beliefs who treat people with shirk (associating partners with Allah), talismans, disjointed letters, and the names of devils. They write this and give it to people, making it in the form of veils and amulets. One must be cautious of this. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah) with Allah the Exalted. This is hanging amulets. These amulets. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: "Whoever hangs an amulet has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah)." In another narration: "Whoever hangs an amulet, may Allah not complete his affair, may Allah not complete his affair." Indeed, ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), amulets, and divination are shirk (associating partners with Allah). Therefore, it is not permissible to be satisfied with this matter, or to act upon it, or to take these amulets. I told you that one is not to be treated except by people of sound belief, religion, knowledge, and understanding. Even the people of knowledge and understanding did not write amulets for people, nor did they say, "Hang them on you," or "Put them near your heads," or "Put them in the places of relief." The verified scholars of knowledge do not say this. Rather, it is said by either ignorant people or people of superstitions. This action is never permissible.
