What is the ruling on hanging written Qur'anic verses on a painful area, based on the permissibility of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on a painful area with the Qur'an?

Al-Halabi : The questioner asks: What is the ruling on one who places some verses from the Qur'an, or the Qur'an itself, on a painful part of his body, citing the permissibility of ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) on a painful area with the Noble Qur'an?

The Shaykh : No, this is not prescribed. Ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) is for a person to recite over himself or over the site of his illness what has come in the Qur'an or in some of the authentic supplications from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him). As for using a hanging amulet, this is from the newly invented matters, and some of the early scholars consider it a tamimah (amulet). Even if it is from the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), everything that is hung is a tamimah (amulet). However, there is a difference between what is hung being the words of Allah (Mighty and Majestic) or a supplication from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him), and it being incomprehensible words that may be shirk (associating partners with Allah) or misguidance. That is the difference. But in the end, it is all a tamimah (amulet), except that some evil is less than other evil. Therefore, it is not permissible except for ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). As for hanging a verse or a hadith in a place on a person, or in a house, or the like, this is from the newly invented matters.
