The Meaning of the Hadith: “Indeed, Ruqyah, Tamayim, and Tiwala are Shirk”

Question:
Honorable Shaykh, this is a message received from the questioner Abdullah from Yemen. He says in this question: Honorable Shaykh, tamayim and tiwala are shirk (associating partners with Allah). What is the meaning of this hadith? What are tamayim and what is tiwala? May Allah reward you with good.

Answer:
In the name of Allah, the Most Gracious, the Most Merciful. Praise be to Allah, Lord of the worlds, and may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and all his Companions. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: By ruqyah, we mean the pre-Islamic ruqyah that contains supplication to other than Allah the Exalted and calling for aid from the jinn and Shaytan. Other than that, this is forbidden shirk (associating partners with Allah) because it involves supplication to other than Allah.
As for ruqyah that is from the Qur'an or from the prescribed supplications, there is nothing wrong with it.
Tamayim are things that are hung. Tamayim are all things hung on bodies, on places, or on cars to ward off the evil eye, as they claim. They hang them on their bodies or on their possessions to protect themselves from the evil eye, as they claim. This is prohibited because it is shirk (associating partners with Allah). As the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: because it involves relying on other than Allah.
(Glorified and Exalted is He) in removing or repelling affliction. So it is shirk, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) named it. And tiwala is something they make, claiming that it causes a woman to love her husband or a husband to love his wife. This is the work of sorcerers; this is the work of sorcerers. As He the Exalted and Majestic said: “Do they learn from them,” meaning from the sorcerers, This is tiwala. Yes.
