The Ruling of the Shari'ah on Amulets and Ruqyah

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner asks: What is the ruling of the Shari'ah on amulets and ruqyah?

Answer:
Amulets are not permissible, nor are charms; it is not permissible to hang amulets. The Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade them, saying:
Whoever hangs an amulet, Allah will not complete [his good], and whoever hangs an amulet has committed shirk (associating partners with Allah).من تعلق تميمةً فلا أتم الله له، من تعلق تميمةً فقد أشرك
Therefore, it is not permissible to hang amulets, whether made of iron or anything else, or from ruqyah. As for performing ruqyah on a person, or blowing on them if they are sick, there is no harm in that; it is a lawful ruqyah. However, if one writes a text and hangs it on them, or hangs a charm on them, or hangs a piece of iron on them, all of this is not permissible. This is because the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) forbade this, saying:
Whoever hangs an amulet, Allah will not complete [his good], and whoever hangs a charm, Allah will not grant him protection.من تعلق تميمةً فلا أتم الله له، ومن تعلق ودعة فلا ودع الله له
