The Ruling on Using Hijab (Amulets) and Hanging Talismans

Question:
What is the ruling on using hijab (amulets)? And is the one who makes these hijab considered among the fortune-tellers and sorcerers? If the hijab contains non-Arabic words or disconnected letters, it is shirk (associating partners with Allah) and kufr (disbelief) by the consensus of the scholars.

Answer:
It is not obligatory to hang them, nor to make them or place them in the house. As for those made from hadiths and supplications, there is a disagreement among the scholars, and the correct view is that they are not permissible either. This is because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade hanging samal (amulets). Samal are the talismans that are hung, whether they are from the Qur'an or from other sources. Hanging samal is not permissible; this is the correct view, even if they are from the Qur'an. In any case, these hijab must be destroyed. It is sufficient for a person to recite the Qur'an, or to recite the surahs whose recitation at bedtime has been reported, along with the Verse of the Throne. He should repeat this, increase in the recitation of the Qur'an, and seek refuge in Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) with the lawful talismans in the morning and in the evening. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) will protect him from that without him hanging hijab or making hijab. Yes.
