The ruling on placing the mushaf around a child for protection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, I have a sister who says: I was blessed with a child after twenty years, and I have some abnormal fear. I was blessed with a child, but I place a mushaf (written copy of the Qur'an) around the child to protect him from the evil eye and the jinn, and so do other people.
Answer:
No, this is not permissible; it is a form of taking guardians. However, she should make du'a' (supplication) for him and recite the prescribed adhkar (remembrance of Allah) over him in the morning and evening. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) is near and responsive to supplication. She should pray for his righteousness and safety. Yes.
