What is the ruling on hanging a rosary around the neck to prevent its loss?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
Hanging the prayer beads around the neck in this manner involves several prohibitions, among them: imitating innovators and Sufis, showing off and opening the door to disparagement of one's honor, ignorant people imitating him in worship and believing that hanging them brings reward, believing that they are an amulet that wards off evil, seeking blessings from them and believing that they bring good, imitating women if they contain adornment, and it may be a means to achieve fame.
