The first question of Fatwa No. ( 16796 )
Q 1: What is the view of the Islamic religion regarding carrying amulets and performing ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) ?
A 1 : It is not permissible to carry amulets or hang them on people; due to the prohibition of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) of that, as he said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:557 And he (peace and blessings be upon him) said: Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani) The term ruqyah refers to what is other than the Qur'an and the prescribed supplications. As for ruqyah with the Qur'an and lawful supplications, by reciting over the sick person and seeking protection for them, there is nothing wrong with that; due to the saying of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him): Sunan Abi Dawud 3886Sahih (Al-Albani) , and amulets are things that are carried or hung to ward off the evil eye or to remove or ward off affliction. And success is from Allah, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.

Whoever hangs up an amulet, Allah will not complete [his affair] for him
من تعلق تميمة فلا أتم الله لهspells, charms and love-potions are polytheism
إن الرقى والتمائم والتولة شركThere is no harm in invocations so long as there is no polytheism in them.
لا بأس بالرقى ما لم تكن شركًا
