The ruling on claiming that amulets and threads are beneficial
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some of those who wear amulets and threads claim that they are beneficial for them, and that they have been tested for what they placed them for, such as warding off harm or bringing about benefit. The question is: can their claim be true, or is this a means of luring them into error, or is it never true? I ask for your guidance.
Answer:
This is a refutation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). The Messenger said, "Remove it, for it will only increase you in weakness." This person says, "No, it increases you in strength and health." This is a refutation of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him). Any part of this statement is said: this is a false statement. Is there no benefit in them? So there is no warding off of harm, and no bringing about of good. Yes.
