Ruling on Hanging the Qur'an as an Amulet
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
In one of his questions, he says: I want to carry a small mushaf in my pocket to protect me from evil glances and the whispers of Satan. Is that permissible? Knowing that a person cannot remain in a state of wudu' constantly, is it valid to carry it without wudu' and without touching it with the hand?
Answer:
Carrying it with that intention is not permissible; because that means you have made it an amulet, made it a barrier to protect you from the evil eye and other things. This is invalid. Carrying it is not what protects from the evil eye. However, carrying it for the purpose of reading is fine. You may carry it in your pocket so that you can read it when it is convenient, in the mosque or in your home, and there is no harm in that. And you may carry it in a cover if you are not in a state of ritual purity; it should have a cover that you carry it in.
As for carrying it to protect you from the harm of the evil eye, as you claim, or from calamities, that is a mistake. This is invalid. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan al-Bayhaqi 17:557 And this encompasses everything. So you may not carry the mushaf for this intention and this purpose. But carrying it to read from it, there is no harm in that. You read from it when you are in a state of ritual purity, and if you are not in a state of ritual purity, it remains in your pocket until you perform wudu' and read, and there is no harm in that. And you may carry it in a strap or in a cover. Yes.
The presenter : May Allah reward you with good.
