Imam Ibn Taymiyya writes in his Fatawa: (ta’wizes). In the name of Allah, Most Compassionate, Most Merciful, Hanging or wearing of amulets (ta’wiz) is normally permissible for protection or healing provided certain conditions are met: 1) That they consist of the names of Allah Almighty or his attributes; 2) That they are in Arabic; 3) That they do not consist of anything that is disbelief (kufr); 4) The user does not believe the words have any affect in themselves, but are empowered to do so by Allah Most High. It is narrated from Amr ibn Shu’ayb, from his father, from his grandfather (Abdullah ibn Amr ibn al-Aas (Allah be pleased with them all), that the Messenger of Allah (Allah bless him & give him peace) used to teach them (the Sahabas) for fearful situations the following words: “I seek refuge in Allah’s perfect words from His wrath, the evil of his servants, the whispered insinuations of devils, and that they come to me” Abd Allah ibn Amr used to teach these words to those of his sons who had reached the age of reason,[COLOR=Red] and used to write them and hang them upon those who had not reached the age of reason[ /COLOR] (narrated by Abu Dawud & Tirmidhi, and Tirmidhi classed it as an authentic narration). In the Musannaf of Imam Abu Bakr ibn Abi Shayba, the permissibility of hanging Ta’wizes is reported from many of the Companions and early Muslims (Salaf), including: Sa’id ibn al-Musayyab, Ata’, Mujahid, Abd Allah ibn Amr, Ibn Sirin, Ubaydullah ibn Abd Allah ibn Umar, and others (Allah be well pleased with them all). [See: al-Musannaf, 5.439]. Imam Ibn Taymiyya (Allah have mercy on him) writes in his Fatawa: “It is permissible for an ill or troubled person, that certain verses from the Qur’an are written with pure ink, then it is washed and given to the ill to drink.Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth. Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him) says:This Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman. We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this” (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, 19/65). Imam Ibn Taymiyya’s student Imam Ibn al-Qayyim also narrates the permissibility of using Ta’wizes from a number of salafs including the great Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Allah have mercy on him). Thereafter Ibn al-Qayyim himself quotes various Ta’wizes (Zad al-Ma’ad, 3/180). #Nadeem_Yaseen
