Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The Shaykh :"And from Sa'id ibn Jubayr, he said: narrated by Waki'" (may Allah have mercy on him), he is the one who cuts an amulet from a person; it is like one who frees a slave. The point of similarity is that he freed this person from shirk (associating partners with Allah) and released him from the Fire, so he is like one who frees a slave. Yes. But is it better to cut it immediately when he sees it, or in the best manner? In the best manner, because if he proceeds to cut it like that, discord may arise between them, and it may lead to fighting. Yes. If the person is one whose command is obeyed, like a prince, a judge, or the like, from those whose command is obeyed, then there is no harm in cutting it immediately, and there is no blame on him.

The Shaykh : al-Nakha'iMusannaf Ibn Abi Shaybah 13:52 They... to whom does the pronoun refer?
The student: The Companions of Ibn Mas'ud
The Shaykh : The Companions of Ibn Mas'ud; it refers to the Companions of Ibn Mas'ud because they are the Companions of Ibrahim al-Nakha'i. They disliked all amulets, whether from the Qur'an or other than the Qur'an. It has been mentioned previously that this was the opinion of Ibn Mas'ud (may Allah be pleased with him), so his Companions held the view he held regarding amulets. What are amulets? Those that are hung on a sick person or a healthy person, whether from the Qur'an or other than the Qur'an. Although, unfortunately, now the hanging of the Qur'an is not for healing, but merely for seeking blessing and adornment. Also, now there are necklaces in which Allah is written, which exist in gold jewelry, and there is the Verse of the Throne, all of this. And there is a complete mushaf in... a small one that is hung. All of this is among the matters we see as religious innovations (bid'ah), and it is not permissible for a person to do it. The Qur'an was not revealed to be used for healing in this manner; rather, it is used for healing in the manner that came from the legislation and what the Sunnah brought.

The Shaykh : No, no, this is from his statement.
The student: ... .
The Shaykh : A Companion of the Successors (Tabi'i). The point of similarity, as I said, is that he freed her from shirk.
The questioner : The mushaf is written on one sheet, O Shaykh...
The Shaykh : This has been discussed previously, and we said that this is not something that should be done. This also should not be done.
Whoever cuts an amulet from a person is like one who frees a slave
