Question:
This questioner says: Why did the scholars state that the default ruling regarding tying a thread or ring is minor shirk, even though the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, “If you were to die while it is still on you, you would never succeed”?
Answer:
Yes, if one believes that it benefits and harms. However, if one does not believe in it, but considers it a cause that benefits, while in reality it has no benefit.
