What is the meaning of "ar-Ruqa, at-Tama'im, and at-Tiwalah," and what is the ruling on those who practice them or perform them for others?
The aforementioned was narrated by Abu Dawud and authenticated by Al-Albani. The forbidden ruqa (incantations) are those whose meanings are not understood or those that contain (polytheism). However, if their meaning is clear and they include the remembrance of Allah, then they are commendable.
As for tama'im (amulets), which are hung to ward off the evil eye, they are forbidden. If one believes that they cause benefit or harm independently of Allah, then this is major shirk. If one believes them to be merely a means, then it is minor shirk. The correct view is that it is not permissible to hang tama'im, even if they contain verses from the Quran.
Tiwalah (love charm) is a type of magic that aims to make a woman beloved to her husband. It is forbidden and considered shirk, whether it is overt or subtle.
In summary, forbidden ruqa, hanging of tama'im, and tiwalah are not permissible. Whoever believes that these bring benefit independently of Allah is guilty of major shirk.
