Can Muslims wear amulets?

Islamic theologians consider the wearing of amulets a certain duality of faith. According to the Islamic religion - "Everything in this world is created by Allah", and this means that no other subject has the power to do anything in a person’s life. And one should not attribute to inanimate objects a force above, and even more so to believe in it.

But despite this, people, including many Muslims, continue to believe in the power of amulets and even deeply believers find interpretations in the Qur'an, “allowing” the wearing of amulets. So, for example, Muslim men wear rings (rings in the form of a print on which Shahad is engraved). It is believed that such a ring was worn by the Prophet Muhammad. It was for this reason that Islamic theologians made a decision, to consider this amulet permissible. All believers of Muslim men wear such a ring.

But despite such a favor of the imams to the amulets, there are significant reservations that should be observed:

Men are not allowed to wear gold in the form of amulets or jewelry, but only silver.
The ring should not exceed 4.25 grams, 2.95 grams in Malikit.
As amulets, Muslims can carry talismans with verses with them, on which words from the book of Allah are written.

This talisman has both supporters and opponents. Some theologians consider it a sin, others are sure that this is acceptable, but only with a reservation:

These amulets should be removed in the room for personal hygiene (bath or toilet).
It is forbidden to put a charm on top of other objects, as this is considered a manifestation of disrespect to the word of the prophet.
It is also considered forbidden to put a amulet on the ground or throw it out.
When the talisman becomes dilapidated, it should be buried in the ground.

The Malites believe that it is better to burn the dilapidated amulets, and bury the ashes to prevent walking along it.

Red thread on the wrist: Can Muslims be worn?

Another popular amulet among Muslims is a red thread. It is tied to the left wrist (wearing on the right wrist is a mistake).

It is worn not only by believers, but also by ordinary inhabitants.
It is believed that it protects from the evil eye and everything bad.
But this is an attribute, Kabbalah-esoteric, mystical direction that no religion recognizes.
Despite the ban, the red thread of Muslims is considered a strong amulet from the evil eye and damage, any negative energy.

In everyday life, there are very often people wearing a red thread on the wrist. It is important to note that Islam does not consider the red thread a permitted amulet, despite its prevalence among Muslims. In general, the Islamic religion does not accept amulets, talismans, amulets, believing that Allah created everything in this world and only he has power. But in this conviction, theologians allow a compromise.
