The Sermon of Need, from the lessons of “Encouragement and Warning,” warning against hanging amulets and charms.

These charms and amulets are types among many types of shirk (associating partners with Allah). These are the types by which the Muslim community has been afflicted, particularly in the later centuries. You will hear some authentic hadiths regarding the prohibition, indeed the strong warning, against them, and regarding the fact that this is considered shirk.
