Hanging amulets from the Qur'an and other things
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q3: Does hanging amulets from the Qur'an and other things make a person a disbeliever?
A3: The amulets that a person hangs are of two types: The first: that they are from the Qur'an. And the second: that they are from other than the Qur'an. If they are from the Qur'an, the Salaf differed on this regarding two opinions: The first: It is not permissible to hang them, and this is the view of the companions of Ibn Mas'ud and Ibn Abbas , and it is the apparent view of Hudhayfah and 'Uqbah ibn 'Amir and Abdullah ibn 'Ukaym , and this is the view of a group of the Tabi'un, among them the companions of Ibn Mas'ud , and this is the view of Ahmad in a narration that many of his companions preferred and the later scholars affirmed with certainty. This is a view based on what the Imam Ahmad and Abu Dawud and others narrated from Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him) who said: I heard the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) say:Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani) . The Shaykh Abd al-Rahman ibn Hasan al-Shaykh (may Allah have mercy on him) said in [Fath al-Mujid]: I say: This is the correct view for three reasons that become apparent to the one who reflects: The first: The generality of the prohibition, and there is no specific exception to it. The second: Blocking the means to harm, for it leads to hanging things that are not of that nature. The third: That if one hangs it, the one who hangs it must inevitably degrade it by carrying it with him while relieving himself, cleaning oneself, and the like.
The second opinion: The permissibility of that, and this is the view of Abdullah ibn 'Amr ibn al-'As and it is the apparent meaning of what was narrated from A'ishah , and this is the view of Abu Ja'far al-Baqir and Ahmad in a narration, and they interpreted the hadith as referring to amulets that contain shirk (associating partners with Allah).Sunan Abi Dawud 3883Sahih (Al-Albani) . And success is from Allah. And may Allah send prayers and blessings upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and his Companions.
