The Ruling on Hanging Qur'anic Verses on Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Yes. The issue of shirk (associating partners with Allah). We find that some people recite the verse of the cradle and other verses from the Qur'an, and they tie them to children as protection against the evil eye and sorcery, citing the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Isra 17:82] Is this evidence valid or not?
Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. In the chapter on what has been transmitted regarding ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and amulets, it was established that if the hung ruqyah is from the Qur'an or from permissible supplications, the scholars differed on its permissibility, with two opinions. The first opinion is prohibition, based on the general prohibition of amulets, and the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did not exclude anything from this prohibition. Does this not encompass what is hung from the Qur'an as well as what is hung from other sources?
Also, because hanging the Qur'an is a means to hanging things other than the Qur'an. If the door is opened for people, they will not stop at one point; they will hang other ruqyah containing shirk (associating partners with Allah), especially among the ignorant, because most people want healing at any cost, even at the cost of their creed. Thirdly, hanging the Qur'an subjects it to trial, as it is hung on the human body. A person sleeps, enters the bathroom, and handles various things, and sometimes forgets, so the Qur'an is hung in a state of disrespect. This is the first opinion. The second opinion among the scholars is that it is permissible, considering that this is from the Qur'an, and Allah has made the Qur'an a healing. Also, some of the Companions did this and hung it on some of their children. However, the first opinion is stronger due to the strength of its evidence, and because it involves caution. The permissible ruqyah is the one from the Qur'an, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) did, by bringing the sick person and reciting over him and blowing on him. The reciter reads from the Qur'an and blows on the sick person or the afflicted one. This is the ruqyah that is permissible by the consensus of the Muslims, and it is the one through which good is achieved. This is the correct view, and this is what should be acted upon, or rather, it is obligatory to act upon it. Yes.

وَنُنَزِّلُ مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَAnswer:
