Is it permissible to place the vulva of an animal "on top of a porcupine with quills the size of a racoon" in a shop to attract abundant provision?
This is one of the superstitions and follies that have no basis in religious or rational evidence. A Muslim must distance himself from these delusions and superstitions and from those who practice them. It is not permissible to believe their practitioners, due to the Prophet's (peace and blessings be upon him) saying: "Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk (polytheism)," and his saying: "Whoever wears an amulet, may Allah not fulfill his need; and whoever wears a cowrie shell, may Allah not grant him peace." An amulet is anything hung, such as beads or bones, to ward off harm or bring benefit. A Muslim must adhere to what is legislated from material and spiritual means, while seeking help from Allah. Allah Almighty said: "And whoever fears Allah - He will make for him a way out And will provide for him from where he does not expect."
