Is it permissible to wear amulets, given the presence of hadiths in Al-Muwatta that permit certain types of them?

Summary of the Answer:

The answer mentions the narrations (hadiths) regarding the dislike of wearing amulets (tama'im) and the rulings of scholars on them. Scholars have agreed on the prohibition of amulets if they are not from the Qur'an. They differed on the permissibility of wearing amulets if they are from the Qur'an, or the names and attributes of Allah. The view of prohibition is more preponderant due to the generality of the hadiths and to block the means (sadd al-dhari'ah). Scholars have emphasized that wearing amulets containing satanic talismans or anything else that is not from the two revelations (Qur'an and Sunnah (definition)) is explicit shirk (definition) (polytheism).
