Is carrying the Mus'haf (Quran) on the chest, to feel protected from hallucinations and sleep paralysis, considered an innovation (bid'ah)?

Holding the Mushaf (definition) (copy of the Qur’an) to ward off harm from oneself or one's body is impermissible, as it falls under the category of forbidden amulets. Several corruptions result from this practice, including: believing it suffices over reading and contemplating the Qur’an, touching the Mushaf without ritual purity, and disrespecting the Mushaf by it falling or being overturned. The advice is to frequently remember Allah, read the Qur’an, diligently recite the remembrances before sleep, especially Ayat al-Kursi and the Mu'awwidhat (Surahs Al-Falaq and An-Nas), and maintain ritual purity (wudu').
