The ruling on placing the Qur'an in a car for protection

Question:
The questioner from the Emirates, Abu 'Abd, says: I place the Qur'an, in its small size, in my car's drawer to protect me and my car from accidents. One of the brothers told me to do this. What is the validity of this? May you be rewarded.

Answer:
This is valid; it is not permissible to carry the Qur'an in the car or in a pocket for the sake of protection, to serve as a charm that prevents accidents or wards them off. This is a form of using amulets and charms, and it is not permissible. However, when you get into the car, you should recite the prescribed supplications. You say: and indeed to our Lord we shall return. O Allah, You are the companion in the journey, if you intend to travel, then the companion in the journey and the near one among the family, until the end of the supplication for riding. Therefore, Allah will protect you. Or, if you do not intend to travel but only want to make a short trip, when you get in you say: In the name of Allah, the Most Merciful, the Bestower of Mercy. O Allah, protect me in my self, my wealth, my family, and my religion. You supplicate to Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He) for safety. Yes.
