The questioner:
He also asks: What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, about those who go to people to perform 'azimahs (incantations) containing Qur'anic verses, which are then placed and hung on the sick person?
The Shaykh:
If the amulets are from the Qur'an and from the prescribed supplications, the scholars have differed on their ruling. Some of them permitted them, considering them a type of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), while others prohibited them because they are among the forbidden amulets (tamimah). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani). Amulets are those that are hung on children to ward off the evil eye. And in the hadith: "Whoever Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:557 " and because they are a means to what is not permissible. This is their position.
The second position is that they are permissible, but with conditions: that they be from the Qur'an, or from the authentic supplications of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him); that they be in the Arabic language, and not contain foreign words; that one believes that healing is from Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and that they are merely a cause; and that they not be taken into filthy places, such as the bathroom or the place of relief. Yes.
The questioner:
May Allah reward you.
The Shaykh:
As for amulets made of unknown words, the names of Shayatins, and talismans, the scholars have unanimously agreed on their prohibition and the necessity of forbidding them.

May Allah bless you,

spells, charms and love-potions are polytheism
إن الرقى والتمائم والتولة شركWhoever hangs an amulet, Allah will not complete
عَلَّقَ تَمِيمَةً فَلا أَتَمَّ اللَّهُmeaning to avoid them,
