THE DAILY ISLAMIC REMINDERS. Yaum As-Sabt, 21st day of Swafar 1444AH. (Saturday, 17th of September 2022).

TO WEAR A RING OR ANYTHING SIMILAR FOR

PROTECTION, IS AN ACT OF SHIRK. BismilLah. 

ALLAH the Almighty Says in quran 39v38, ask them, the things that you

invoke besides ALLAH, - if ALLAH intended some harm for me,

could they remove the harm, or if HE (ALLAH) intended some

mercy for me, could they withhold HIS Mercy? Say: Sufficient

for me is ALLAH; in HIM those who trust (i.e. believers) must put

their trust.

Imran bin Husain (r.a.) narrated: The Prophet (Sallalahu alaihi wasallam) once saw a man with a brass ring on his hand and asked

him, “What is this?” The man replied, “To overcome the

weakness of old age.” He said, “Remove it, for, it can only add

to your weakness. Should death overtake you while you are

wearing it, you would never succeed.” [This Hadeeth was

recorded by Ahmad (bin Hanbal) (r.a.) with a good chain of

narrators. He also recorded in a tradition traced to the

Prophet (Peace be upon him) himself): 

Uqbah bin Aamir (r.a.)

narrated that Prophet Muhammad (Peace be upon him) said:

“Whoever wears a talisman or an amulet would never see his

wish fulfilled by ALLAH. And whoever hangs a sea shell would

never get peace and rest.”

In another version the Prophet (Peace be upon him) is reported

to have said: “Whoever wears a talisman has committed Shirk

(polytheism).”

Most of these things are giving or prepared by fortune tellers through their evil jinns to cause more harm to us. May ALLAH protect us from such satanic influences. Aameen.
