The ruling on hanging written verses around the neck or on clothing
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
What is the ruling on writing certain verses on paper and then hanging them around the neck or on any part of the body or clothing?
Answer:
What is permissible in this is what the people of amulets and the people of veils do. If one believes that it protects him from Shaytan or from the jinn or the like, then it is an amulet. This is wrong and not permissible. If it is for play, he should leave it off, because it resembles the action of criminals, so he should not do that.
The presenter:
All right.
