The ruling on hanging "Masha'Allah" behind a car

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Abu 'Abd al-Rahman says: In this question, Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on placing stickers behind a car out of fear of the evil eye, on which is written "Masha'Allah, Tabarak Allah" or "Remember Allah, O questioner"?

Answer:
This is not permissible. These are among the amulets that are hung on animals, cars, or bodies to ward off the evil eye. These are called *huros*. The majority of scholars are of the opinion that this is prohibited. Even if they contain authentic supplications and verses, it is not permissible, because it falls under the prohibition of hanging amulets. There is a prohibition against hanging amulets: "Whoever hangs an amulet, Allah will not complete [his affair] for him," and "Whoever hangs an amulet has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah)." The Muslim should avoid this; he should not hang it on himself, in his clothes, on his animal, on his car, on his house, or on his property. Rather, he should seek protection through the prescribed supplications in the morning and evening, the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). Yes.
