What is the ruling on placing a small mushaf inside a cloth and hanging it on the chest?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. As for those who hold that it is permissible to place a small mushaf inside a cloth and hang it on the chest, on the condition that it is not taken into the bathroom,

Answer:
this is a form of taking amulets, and it is not permissible. It is permissible to hang the Qur'an or something from the Qur'an, because this is a tamimah (amulet). This is the tamimah. The people of thorough investigation say that even if it is from the Qur'an, it should not be hung, because the hadith is general:
Whoever hangs an amulet, Allah will not complete it for him.من تعلق تميمه فلا اتم الله له من تعلق
. So this is general. Some scholars say, no, if it is from the Qur'an or from the remembrance of Allah, then it is permissible. But the stronger position is the first one. Yes.
