Ruling on the prayer of one who wears an amulet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner: A man from Al-Ula says: I was ill, and one of the brothers wrote a hijab (amulet) for me, and I wore it. Is my prayer valid while I am wearing the hijab? And is the hijab forbidden, O honorable Shaykh?
Answer:
The prayer is valid, and the hijab should be cut and removed. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) prohibited amulets, and this is one of the amulets. He (peace and blessings be upon him) said: The amulet is called the hijab, and it is called the jami'ah, and it is called by other names.
The point is: nothing should be hung, neither a string nor a rag, nor anything that is written and hung. All of this is called a hijab, and it is called an amulet. It is not permissible to hang it; rather, it is obligatory to cut it. As for the prayer, it is valid.

Whoever hangs a tamimah, Allah will not complete for him, and whoever hangs a wada'ah, Allah will not grant him peace.
من تعلق تميمة فلا أتم الله له، ومن تعلق ودعة فلا ودع الله لهThe point is: nothing should be hung, neither a string nor a rag, nor anything that is written and hung. All of this is called a hijab, and it is called an amulet. It is not permissible to hang it; rather, it is obligatory to cut it. As for the prayer, it is valid.
