The Ruling on Hanging Amulets and Dealing with Those Who Hang Them
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What about the one who hangs amulets? We have advised him in this matter, but he refuses, either out of ignorance or arrogance. Should this person be boycotted? Or how do we deal with him?
Answer:
What is in them? What is written in them? For example, if it is the Qur'an, there is scholarly disagreement regarding hanging it or not hanging it. However, if what is written in it is false speech, or speech of disbelief, or speech whose meaning is not understood, it is not permissible to use it or hang it. Yes.
