Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. He says: There is a brass bracelet that they claim provides a person with energy and strength, so what is the ruling on using it?
Answer:
This was brought up and presented to the Council of Senior Scholars and the Permanent Committee. They asked the doctors about it. Nothing has been established regarding it up to now; they have held back on it up to now, meaning it requires further consideration. If it is established that it is medical and that it benefits the body, then there is no harm in it; this falls under the category of treatment. However, if the intention behind it is to attach oneself to it and rely upon it, that is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and is not permissible.
