What is the evidence for the prohibition of wearing a hijab (amulet), a fishing net (talisman), or any form of protection against evil deeds and sorcery, and what is the solution for protecting oneself from the renewal of sorcery?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

The proof for the impermissibility of wearing part of a dream catcher or carrying something sought through it as an amulet (hijab) is the saying of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him: "Indeed, incantations (ruqyah), amulets (tama'im), and enchantments (tiwalah) are polytheism (shirk)." Amulets (tama'im) are what are hung to ward off the evil eye, and forbidden incantations (ruqyah) are those that involve polytheism with Allah.
