Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A listener sent a message containing a number of questions. He says: I, the listener (S. A. A.), ask in one of my questions, and I say: I see some people writing verses from the Qur'an and tying them around their necks, saying: This is a protection from such and such. Is this prescribed? Did the Companions do anything of this?
Please give us a ruling, may Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
This is not prescribed, and this is called a tamimah (amulet), and it is called a harz (protective charm). Some people call it al-jawami' (the summaries). This is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: So it is not permissible to hang up amulets, which are these charms, which are when one writes verses, or supplications, or hadiths, and hangs them around his neck, or on his arm. This is not permissible.
And it is obligatory to be cautious of that. As for one engaging in the prescribed daily recitations, reading them over himself when he sleeps, and engaging in the lawful recitations, this is required, commanded by the Shari'ah. And when sleeping, he reads Ayat al-Kursi, and he reads [Surat al-Ikhlas: 1] and [Surat al-Falaq: 1] and [An-Nas 114:1], [Surat al-Nas: 1] three times when sleeping. All of this is among the causes of well-being and safety. And the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) used to do this, and he (peace and blessings be upon him) would say to the one who reads Ayat al-Kursi: .
So you should use this. You read Ayat al-Kursi: [Surat al-Baqarah: 255], you say Sunan Abi Dawud 3898Sahih (Al-Albani) three times, Sunan Ibn Majah 3869 three times in the morning and evening. You read [Surat al-Ikhlas: 1] and [Surat al-Falaq: 1] and [An-Nas 114:1], [Surat al-Nas: 1] three times after Maghrib, and when sleeping, and after the Fajr prayer. All of this is among the causes of safety. And praise be to Allah, and Allah suffices you with this from the written, hung amulet. Yes.

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 لهAnd it is obligatory to be cautious of that. As for one engaging in the prescribed daily recitations, reading them over himself when he sleeps, and engaging in the lawful recitations, this is required, commanded by the Shari'ah. And when sleeping, he reads Ayat al-Kursi, and he reads
Say, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أحدٌSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِربِّ الفَلقِSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِربِّ النّاسِIndeed, there remains with him a protector from Allah, and no Shaytan will approach him until he becomes morning
إنه لا يزال معه من الله حافظ، ولا يقربه شيطان حتى يصبحSo you should use this. You read Ayat al-Kursi:
Allah - there is no deity except Him, the Ever-Living, the Sustainer of [all] existence
اللَّهُ لا إِلَهَ إِلَّا هُوَ الْحَيُّ الْقَيُّومُI take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created
أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلقBismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alim
باسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء، وهو السميع العليمSay, "He is Allah, [who is] One,
قُلْ هُوَ اللهُ أحدٌSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of daybreak
قُلْ أَعُوذُ بِربِّ الفَلقِSay, "I seek refuge in the Lord of mankind,
