The ruling on hanging curtains and amulets from the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
And some relatives use curtains, so when they come to them, they say that they are from the Noble Qur'an, and that some of the imams of the mosques permit their use, so who is it that does that?
Answer:
The ruling is that it is not permissible to hang curtains, even if they are from the Qur'an; it is not permissible to hang them on necks or on children or on infants. This is not permissible because there is no evidence indicating permissibility; there is no evidence from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) indicating permissibility. Rather, the evidence indicates prohibition, because the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. He did not specify the ruqah; it is general. This is general. Amulets: an amulet is what is hung from the Qur'an or otherwise. The Messenger generalized and said that amulets are counted among shirk (associating partners with Allah), and he did not make an exception. So the correct view is that it is not permissible, even if it is from the Qur'an, even if whoever issued a fatwa did so. The correct view is that it is not permissible, and this fatwa is the weaker position.

إن الرقاء والتمائم والتوالة شرك
