Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: What is the meaning of the hadith
spells, charms and love-potions are polytheismإن الرقى والتمائم والتولة شرك
Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani)
?

Answer:
Yes. The ruqyah mentioned here is a valid hadith
spells, charms and love-potions are polytheismإن الرقى والتمائم والتولة شرك
Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani)
. This refers to non-legitimate ruqyah, namely ruqyah containing false invocations, false words, and pre-Islamic ruqyah. This is shirk (associating partners with Allah). As for correct ruqyah from the Book and the Sunnah, and prescribed supplications, it is valid and beneficial by the permission of Allah.
Amulets are things they hang on children, claiming that they prevent the evil eye. This is a false matter. They also hang things on people, relying on other than Allah the Exalted, believing that ruqyah, amulets, and tiwala are things they make, claiming that they make a woman beloved to her husband and the husband beloved to his wife. This is also false and is a form of shirk (associating partners with Allah). Yes.
