The questioner : This questioner, Anwar al-Misri, says in this question: O honorable Shaykh, what is the ruling on placing a mushaf in the car for the sake of seeking blessing and protection from the evil eye, and also out of fear of a collision? I hope the honorable Shaykh will answer this, may you be rewarded?
The Shaykh : The ruling on placing a mushaf in the car to ward off the evil eye or to avoid danger is a religious innovation (bid'ah). The Companions (may Allah be pleased with them) did not carry mushafs on their camels to ward off danger or the evil eye. And if it is a religious innovation (bid'ah), then the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan an-Nasa'i 1578Sahih (Darussalam). Yes.
The questioner : May Allah bless you.
