The answer

It is impermissible to adopt as a means what Allah has not made a means, whether by Sacred Law or by Divine Decree. This act is a form of charlatanism and superstition, akin to what the people of the Pre-Islamic Era of Ignorance used to do by taking amulets. It is a minor form of polytheism (shirk asghar) and could lead to major polytheism (shirk akbar).
