Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: Is it permissible for me to write the prescribed dhikr on a piece of paper and then hang it around my child's neck?
Answer:
This is a tamimah (amulet). It is not permissible to hang tamimahs. It is not permissible to hang tamimahs on children, nor on animals, nor on houses. However, if you recite the morning and evening adhkar for yourself, your children, and your wealth, that is fine.
