Amulets(Ta'aweez)

There are two types of Ahadiths about Taweez(AMULET),one allowing another prohibting.

Imam Qurtubi Rahmatullah wrote in detail about both types of Ahadith concerning Ta'weez: ‘The Ta’weez that are forbidden are those Ta’weez from the time of ignorance, those which are Satanic and contain an element of Shirk'. (Mantar, Voodoo and Magicetc.) The Ta’weez, which are permitted are those written withDu'as, which are evident from Qur’an and Ahadith only.

To fool innocent muslims,Wahabiya/Salafiya always quote only one type of ahadith and hide those ahadiths that allows Taweez.

Proof of Taweez:
Book 28, Number 3884: abu daud book of medicine
Narrated Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-'As:
The Apostle of Allah (peace_be_upon_him) used to teach them the following words in the case of alarm: I seek refuge in Allah'sperfect words from His anger, the evil of His servants, the evil suggestions of the devils and their presence. Abdullah ibn Amr used to teach them to those of his children who had reached puberty, and he wrote them down (on somematerial) and hung on the childwho had not reached puberty.

The Qur’an has the power of healing
Allah Almighty says in the Qur’an,
“…We send down in Qur’an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers…”
(Surah Bani Israeel Verse 82).

Qadi Shawkani writes, if the Qur’an’s du’as are recited and blown on the sick, they will be cured. When the non-believers recite the Qur’an, theirblasphemic disease will be cured. (Tafsir Fathul Qadir under Verse 82 Surah Bani Israeel).

Hafidhh ibn Kathir and Qadi Shawkani write:
Amr Ibn Shu’aib RadhiAllahu ‘anhu says, that ‘RasoolAllah (Sallallahu’ alaihi wa sallam) taught my Father and grandFather a Du'a which we would read before going to sleep, toprotect us from fear and anguish.Wetold our elder children to recite this Du'a before going to sleep as well. But for those children who were not yet literate, we would write it and then put it around theirnecks.
[Musnad Ahmad Ibn Hanbal vol.2, Abu Dawud in Chapter of Medicine, Tafsir by Hafidhh Ibn Kathir of verse97 of Surah Al-Mu’minoon and Qadi Shawkaani in Fath-ul-Qadeer under the same verse]

Allama Alusi Hanafi in his Tafsir of the Qur’an writes: According to Imam Malik Rahmatullah ‘It is permitted to put around the neck the Ta’weez written with the name of Allah? Imam Baqir also stated thatit is permitted to put such a Ta’weez around the neck of a child. [Rooh-ul-Ma’ani, chapter 15" under verse 97 of Surah Mu'minoon]

Allama Shami Hanafi Rahmatullah writes:
It is permitted to write a Ta’weez and put it around the neck. He further adds that it would be betterifa person recites the Du'as taught by the Prophet (Sallallahu’ alaihi wasallam.) But if a person cannot read or is too young to recite then it is permitted for that person to put it around the neck
[Rud-ul-Mukhtar chapter Qirat, Sharah Sahih Muslim chapter on Tib by Allama Sa’idi].

Imam Bukhari and Imam Muslim write:
When a person who was sick or in some distress they would go to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] who would then place his hand on the area of the pain and recite a du’a and then blowonto him.
(Bukhari, Muslim chap on Tibb).

Imam Muslim writes:
When the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was ill for the last time, angel Jibreel [May Allahbless him and grant Him peace] came and recited du’a and blew on to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]. (Muslim chapter on Tibb)

Imam Muslim writes:
Aisha (Radiall hu anhua) said when the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace] was ill the last time, she recited Surah Al-Falaq and Surah Al-Naas and then blew on to the Prophet [May Allah bless him and grant Him peace]’s hands. The Prophet then blew this onto hisown face and body because his hands hadmore blessing then Aisha’s (Radiall hu anha).
(Muslim chap on Tibb)

From the above narrations, it proves that to blow after reciting du’as ontothe sick is Sunnah and the more pious the person is, the more healing power he has becausehe is blessed more than the less pious.

Hafidhh ibn Taymiyyah writes:
It is permissible to [to recite du’as, and then] blow upon the sick in Islam, but the words must be from the Qur’an or Ahadith. If the words are not then it is not permissible.
[Al-Tawasul chapter on Blowing onto the Sick by Hafidh ibn Taymiyyah]

To conclude it can be said that those verses that oppose the Qur’an, Shari’ah, or the Sunnah are forbidden to read and also forbidden to put around the neck. But as for the Du'as and verses from the Qur’an and Sunnah it is permitted to be written and put around the neck of a small child or an illiterate or a sick person.
