The questioner : May Allah reward the honorableThe Shaykh : What is your opinion regarding these supplications placed in cars, such as the supplication for riding, the supplication for travel, and others, and what is the response to those who say they are amulets?
The Shaykh : I say that whoever says they are amulets has spoken the truth if the car is "sick." It is currently hanging on the car, not on the rider, and placing them in cars is good, because it reminds the rider of the supplication for riding or the supplication for travel, and whatever aids in good is good. So we see no harm in hanging them. And there is no harm in them, except as I told you first: if the car is "sick" and this is hung on it and it is cured by the permission of Allah, then that is good, and in that case, the owners of the workshops [will be pleased].
