The ruling on tying a thread to a child's chest to remove or ward off affliction

Question:
May Allah reward you. Honorable Shaykh, this person is asking about a thread when it is hung on a child's chest to remove affliction or to ward it off?

Answer:
This is one of the invalid amulets, and it is not permissible to tie threads on the legs or on the arms. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) saw a man who had tied a thread and said, "What is this?" He said, "It is for the washanah (a type of illness)." He said, "Remove it, for it will not increase you except in affliction. If you were to die with it on you, you would never succeed." It is not permissible to tie threads or the like, or amulets, and to hang them on bodies or on small children.
This is not permissible because it undermines the creed. And if one believes that it wards off affliction or removes it, then this is shirk (associating partners with Allah), because no one removes affliction or lifts it after it has descended except Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
