Mushtaq Ahmad  · 3 ي  · 

Wearing an amulet is shirk because, instead of relying upon Allah, the heart becomes attached to the amulet, trusting that it will bring good luck and love, or avert bad fortune or disease.

And The Messenger of Allah, may the mercy and blessings of Allah be upon him, said,

‘Spells (ruqyah), amulets and love-charms are shirk.” and another In another hadith he said “Whoever wears an amulet, may Allah not fulfill his need, and whoever wears a sea-shell, may Allah not give him peace.” (Ahmad, Abu Dawud) (Ahmad)

The companions of Prophet peace be upon him strictly abided by the prohibition set by the Prophet on amulets. They openly opposed such practices even among their family members. For example, Hudhayfah, one of the companions of the Prophet, visited a sick man, and seeing a bracelet on the man’s upper arm, he pulled it off and broke it, then recited the verse,

“Most of them who believe in Allah, commit shirk.” (Quran 12:106)

[Ibn Abi Hatim]

On another occasion he touched the upper arm of a sick man and found a cord bracelet tied to it. The man told Hudhayfah that it contained a spell specially made for him, so Hudhayfah tore if off and said, ‘If you had died with it on, I would never have prayed over your funeral.’ [Ibn Waki’]

Once, ibn Mas’ood may Allah be pleased with him said, “I heard the Messenger of Allah peace be upon him say,

‘Spells (ruqyah), amulets and love-charms are shirk.”

Zaynab, the wife of ibn Mas’ud said, “Why do you say this? By Allah, my eye used to discharge and I kept going to so and so, the Jew, who put a spell on it (indicating a charm necklace) for me, and it (the eye) calmed down.” Ibn Mas’ud snatched it from her neck and broke it. ‘Surely, the family of Abdullah has no need for shirk,” he uttered… “That was just the work of the devil who was picking it with his hand, and when (the Jew) uttered the spell, he stopped. All you needed to do was to say as the Messenger of Allah used to say:

‘Adhhib il-ba’s Rabb al-naas ishfi anta al-Shaafi laa shifaa’a illa shifaa’uka shifaa’an laa yughaadiru saqaman

“Remove the harm, O Lord of mankind, and heal, You are the Healer. There is no healing but Your healing, a healing which leaves no disease behind.”

[Abu Daud, Ibn Majah]
