Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. The questioner says: Among the Muslims, men have appeared who wear brass and leather bracelets on their hands, especially men, believing that they invigorate the body and protect against rheumatism. What is the ruling on wearing them?
Answer:
There is a hadith in this matter where the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man with a thread on his hand. He said, "What is this?" He said, "It is for the *wahinah*," meaning he wears it to ward off fever. He said (peace and blessings be upon him)Sunan Ibn Majah 3531Da’if (Darussalam) and it is upon you, you will never succeed. It is not permissible for a Muslim to do these things. It is not permissible for him to wear bracelets or patches to ward off, or threads to ward off the evil eye, to ward off fever, to ward off such things. These are illusions. Yes.
