Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, is it permissible to pray behind a person who writes surahs or verses from the Qur'an on papers and hangs them on himself, relying on these verses to protect him from harm?
Answer:
He should be informed that this is not permissible; this is wearing an amulet. Is this not forbidden for him? He should be advised, and if he does not comply, if they have the ability to replace him with another imam, it is obligatory for them to do so.
