What is the correct ruling regarding amulets if they are from the Qur'an?
Answer:
The correct ruling is to prohibit them. They are called *haruz* (amulets), and whether they are from the Qur'an or not, the correct ruling is to prohibit them.
Q: But if they are from the Qur'an, do they reach the level of major shirk (associating partners with Allah)?
A: It is minor shirk (associating partners with Allah); because they are a means, and due to the generality of the evidence.
Q: And it is major shirk if one believes they bring benefit and harm, or how?
A: It is major shirk if one believes that they themselves bring benefit, or that they themselves ward off harm.
