Writing Dhikr on Cars to Ward Off the Evil Eye
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A friend of mine, who has a new car, wrote on the back of the car, "What Allah willed, remember Allah," out of fear of the evil eye.
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is an amulet; it is considered like an amulet. Is it not permissible to write dhikr on cars or buildings for the purpose of warding off the evil eye? Because this is among the taking of amulets that has been prohibited?
