The Ruling on Hanging Amulets and Veils on People and Animals

Question:
He says: Your Eminence, father, what is the ruling on hanging amulets and talismans on a person, whether a child or otherwise, or on animals? Some people call them hijabs. What is the ruling on hanging a hijab if it is from the Qur'an?

Answer:
It is obligatory to hang amulets on children and not on animals; these are the veils, whether from the Qur'an, from things like wax, from other words, from a hadith, or otherwise. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: , and whoever hangs an amulet has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah). Therefore, it is not obligatory to hang amulets, neither from the Qur'an nor from other sources, not on an animal, not on a car, not on a child, not on a wife, nor on anyone else, not around the neck, not on the arm, nor anywhere else. One must rely on Allah, seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from all evil, and attend to the prescribed daily recitations. As for hanging veils and amulets on a person, a child, a woman, an animal, or a car, this is wrong and not permissible. The Messenger prohibited it and warned against it. It is one of the causes of relying on other than Allah and one of the types of shirk (associating partners with Allah). We seek refuge in Allah.
