Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is wearing a ring and a thread a trivial matter such that one should not be strict with the one who does it?
Answer:
No, it is obligatory to be strict with the one who does it, because it is a belief in something other than Allah. He believes that this thread or this ring will cure him of his illness or ward off the illness from him. This is not permissible. As you know, Shaykh Muhammad ibn 'Abd al-Wahhab (may Allah have mercy on him) established a chapter for this: the chapter on wearing rings and threads to ward off or remove calamity. He cited the hadiths in this chapter. Refer to it. Yes.
The presenter:
