Are the love and hate amulets made by some Sufis valid and real, and how can one seek treatment to avoid them if they are?
In Islamic law, there is nothing to suggest the existence of papers used for love or hatred. It is feared that they might be a type of 'atf (sympathy) magic, which the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, mentioned as part of polytheism () when he said: "Indeed, incantations (), amulets (tama'im), and love charms (tiwalah) are shirk."
'Tiwalah' has been interpreted as something women use to make their husbands love them, or a type of magic, or a string upon which magic is recited, or a paper on which magic is written for love.
The treatment for such issues is through lawful ruqyah (incantations) using prophetic invocations and supplications. One must beware of approaching sorcerers and charlatans.
