Question:
A person says that he suffers from a persistent headache. He went to a healer who gave him a sewn piece of cloth and said, "Put it under your head when you sleep." He asked what was in it, and he said, "It contains a paper written with verses and Prophetic amulets." Is it prescribed for him to use it?
Answer:
No, this is an amulet, and it is from the taking of amulets. But when sleeping, one should recite from the Qur'an: recite Surat al-Ikhlas and the two chapters of seeking refuge (al-Mu'awwidhat), and recite the Verse of the Throne when sleeping. This is what benefits him. As for making an amulet at his head, this is not permissible, and it does not benefit him either. Yes.
