The Ruling on Wearing Bracelets and Threads for Students
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some students in schools wear bracelets on their hands and threads that contain some leather. When we forbid them from wearing them and take them away from them, they say, “We do not believe in them for healing, nor do we use them to ward off the evil eye, nor do we intend to imitate the disbelievers. Rather, we like their appearance, so we wear them for that reason.” What is the ruling on this statement?
Answer:
This is a false statement. We do not say this. We do not say this. This is not done. This is not the dress of men. This is the dress of disbelievers or the dress of women. So, in any case, he is imitating them, either in the case of men or in the case of women. As for if he believes in them, that is more severe. That is more severe. Otherwise, it is prohibited for males. It is not permissible. But you must report the manager responsible for them. Report to the school authorities about anyone you see wearing this.
