Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Badr from al-Jubayl asks and says: What is the ruling on hanging amulets, threads, and necklaces to ward off the evil eye, especially for children?
Answer:
This is not permissible. It is either shirk (associating partners with Allah) if one relies on these hung items and believes that they benefit without Allah (Mighty and Majestic); in that case, it is major shirk. As for if one believes that they are a cause among the causes and that they do not benefit or harm except by the will of Allah, then it is minor shirk. It is not permissible to hang amulets or veils. Rather, the Muslim relies on Allah, places his trust in Allah, and supplicates to Allah without hanging amulets or veils. Yes.
The presenter:
Yes, may Allah reward you,
