The ruling on placing the Qur'an in a car for the purpose of protection
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on placing the Qur'an in a car drawer to protect it and to ward off evil from the gardens and those in them?
Answer:
This is a defective belief, so it is not permissible to carry the Qur'an for this purpose, because it would be a form of carrying amulets. Even if it is from the Qur'an, this is not permissible because it is a means to shirk (associating partners with Allah), and because it is a desecration of the mushaf. If you carry it to read from it, there is nothing wrong with that; it is a good thing. But if you carry it to protect you or to be a barrier for you, that is not permissible, and this compromises the creed.
