The ruling on amulets (tamimah) hung from the Qur'an or from other things, with the intention of warding off harm from the evil eye and the like

Question:
He says in another question: What is the ruling on some people hanging a covering on their children, which may contain some of the Qur'an, or papers written by some diviners?

Answer:
This is what is called amulets (tamimah). These hangings that are hung on necks, or on cars, or on animals, or in houses, intended to ward off the evil eye and avert harm, are called amulets. If this hanging contains shirk (associating partners with Allah) and calling upon other than Allah the Exalted, or contains the names of devils and the names of jinn, then it is forbidden by the consensus of the Muslims, and it is shirk with Allah the Exalted; because it is seeking aid from other than Allah. And if this hanging is from the Qur'an specifically, and from the Prophetic supplications, and contains nothing of shirk, then this is a point of disagreement among the scholars of knowledge. It was said that it is permissible because there is no harm in it, because it is from the speech of Allah and from the Sunnah of His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and there is no harm in it. But the correct view is that it is not permissible either, because it falls under the general category of ruqyah (healing by recitation) about which the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said that ruqyah, amulets, and tatayyur (taking an omen as a bad sign) are shirk. So it falls under the general category of ruqyah and amulets. Therefore, the correct view is the prohibition of hanging amulets absolutely, whether they are from the Qur'an or from other than the Qur'an. Yes.
