The answer

"Al-Ḥaras" refers to a type of amulet that Islam has abolished because it contradicts the doctrine of Tawḥīd (monotheism), for benefit and harm are in the hand of Allah alone. Whoever believes in its benefit has fallen into (polytheism). Wearing amulets is a void custom, even if there is no belief associated with it, because it contradicts the Sharīʿah (Islamic law) and leads to imitating people of falsehood.
