Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The sister Umm Muram says: I have a very beautiful five-year-old girl, and I hung a chain on her to protect her from the evil eye. What is the ruling on hanging such ruqyah?
Answer:
It is permissible to hang chains, necklaces, and threads, even ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), even amulets and writings, even if they are from the Qur'an; they are not to be hung. These are tamimah (amulets). The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:557, and he said that ruqyah, tamimah, and thilah are shirk (associating partners with Allah). Tamimah is the plural of tamimah, which is what is hung on a person, an animal, a car, or a mount for the purpose of protection from the evil eye.

Whoever hangs up an amulet, Allah will not complete [his affair] for him
