Question:
He says: What is the ruling on money earned from amulets used to bring in sustenance?
Answer:
It is not permissible to write amulets. If the amulets contain shirk (associating partners with Allah), supplication to other than Allah, and unknown names, then these are forbidden by consensus, so they are not permissible, nor is it permissible to make them, sell them, or hang them. But if they are from the Qur'an and from supplications, then this is a matter of disagreement among the scholars. Some of the scholars permitted them because there is no harm in them.
And some of them prohibited them because they fall under the generality of the saying of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) thatSunan al-Bayhaqi 17:557. And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani) This is general, and the Messenger did not make an exception. And this is the correct view. It is not permissible to hang amulets. And it is not permissible to hang them in order to bring in sustenance. Sustenance is in the hand of Allah, and hanging amulets is not a cause for sustenance.
The cause for sustenance is lawful earnings, working, and supplication—supplicating to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). These are the causes for obtaining sustenance. Yes.

Who hangs a tamimah, Allah will not complete [his affair]
عَلَّقَ تَمِيمَةً فَلا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُ لَهُspells, charms and love-potions are polytheism
إِنَّ الرُّقَى وَالتَّمَائِمَ وَالتِّوَلَةَ شِرْكٌ.The cause for sustenance is lawful earnings, working, and supplication—supplicating to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). These are the causes for obtaining sustenance. Yes.
