Is it permissible for a woman who has miscarried twice without a medical reason to wear a hijab made of Qur’an during pregnancy, and is it permissible to go to a Sheikh who recites Qur’an and charges a fee for that?
The Quran is a healing for souls and bodies, and adherence to adhkar (remembrances), du'a (supplications), and the recitation of Ruqyah Shar'iyyah (Islamic exorcism) verses protects the Muslim from Satan and neutralizes the evil eye and magic. Ruqyah Shar'iyyah aids in healing by adhering to religious obligations (fara'id), avoiding prohibitions (muharramat), and engaging in adhkar. As for an amulet made from written and hung Quranic verses, it is a tamimah (talisman), and scholars have differed on its permissibility. The preponderant opinion is that it is impermissible due to the general prohibition of tamamim, to block the means (leading to shirk), and due to the potential for its desecration. Frequent remembrance of Allah, seeking forgiveness (istighfar), supplication (du'a), and acts of obedience (ta'at) achieve what is desired. It is permissible for the reciter of Ruqyah to take a fee if the patient is cured and the reciter adheres to the Sunnah of the Prophet.
