Is it permissible to rely on experience to prove the invalidity of wearing amulets and rings?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Also, Shaykh, what about something whose benefit has been established by experience? If someone tried it and it was beneficial, does this fall within the scope of what is permissible, Shaykh?

Answer:
No. Matters related to creed are not judged by experience; rather, one must refer to the evidence. This is because benefit may be obtained from something that is not permissible to adopt, and this benefit may come about as a means of gradual misguidance or as a punishment for its owner. Therefore, the criterion is not the attainment of the desired result or the occurrence of benefit, unless there is evidence from the Book and the Sunnah regarding the permissibility of that thing. Yes.
