Question:
May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good. After this, a message reached the program from one of the listening brothers. He says: Abdul Hadi Muhammad Abdul Aziz, a Sudanese resident of al-Mudaraka, asks and says: In some areas in Sudan, the mushaf is placed near the woman in postpartum bleeding, on the belief that this protects the newborn from Satan. They put the mushaf inside a cloth bag and tie the bag to a stick so that it is kept away from the woman. Is this action correct? Or do you direct us to something else? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This action is not prescribed, and it has no basis; rather, it is an innovation. Hanging the Qur'an near the sick person, or near the woman in postpartum bleeding, for the sake of healing or seeking healing by it, is considered one of the amulets that are prohibited. It is not permissible to hang the Qur'an on the body of the sick person, nor to hang it near him on the wall, or to place it on something, for the sake of seeking blessing from it and seeking healing by its presence. This is among the amulets that are prohibited. And the correct view is that amulets made from the Qur'an are prohibited from being hung, even if they are from the Qur'an, because the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said that amulets are evil. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani) And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:557 This is because a person should attach his heart to Allah, rely upon Allah, and seek healing from Him.
As for the Qur'an, there is no doubt that it is blessed and that it is a healing. So seeking healing by it is not done in this way, the way of hanging it on the wall or hanging it on the body of the sick person. Rather, seeking healing by the Qur'an is through the lawful ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), where the reciter reads and blows on the sick person or the afflicted one, or he reads into water and the sick person is made to drink it. This is the lawful ruqyah. Yes.

إن الرقى والتمائم والتولةWhoever hangs an amulet, Allah will not complete [his affair] for him,
مَنْ عَلَّقَ تَمِيمَةً فَلا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ لَهُ،As for the Qur'an, there is no doubt that it is blessed and that it is a healing.
