Placing the mushaf near a child to protect him from the evil eye and the jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister questioner, Maram, says that her sister has a son whom she was blessed with after several years, and she is afraid for him from the evil eye because he is handsome. She places the mushaf around him when he sleeps to protect him from the evil eye and the jinn.
Answer:
It is not permissible to place the mushaf for the purpose of protection from the evil eye and the jinn. This is part of taking amulets and imitating the disbelievers; it is not permissible. This was not reported from the Salaf. If she wants to protect her son from the evil eye and from harm, she should recite for him the verses of the morning and evening adhkar and the lawful supplications, either alone or with her. She recites for herself and for her child. Yes.
