The Qur'an has the Power of Healing,
Allah Most High says in the Qur'an:-
"We send down in Qur'an that which is a healing and a mercy to the believers."
[Sura Banu Isra'il, verse 82]
•✓Proof of Wearing the ta'aweez:-
"Amr ibn Shu'aib (may Allah be pleased with him) said that 'Rasulu'llah(may Allah bless him and grant him peace) taught my father and grandfather a du'a which we would read before going to sleep, to protect us from fear and anguish.We told our elder children to recite this du'a before going to sleep as well.But for those children who were not yet literate,we would write it and then put it around their necks"
[Ref:-Musnad Ahmad ibn Hanbal vol.2; Abu Dawud, in 'Chapter of Medicine';Tafsir Ibn Kathir,under Sura al-Mu'minun, verse 97; and Qadi Shawkani, Fath al-Qadir, under the same verse]
•✓From the words of the great 'Imam, Imam e Azam Abu Hanifa's' book, with commentary of his student, Muhammad ibn Hassan al Shaybani (132-189AH), called Kitab al Athar. Muhammed ibn Hassan al Shaybani also spent 3 years with Imam Malik and heard 700+ Hadith for.
Note:-'Kitab al Athar' is the first book after the generation of the Companions and is known to be the greatest of Hadith books, and the first Hanafi Madhab book.Before Bukhari and Muslim etc.
•Ref:- ['KITAB AL-ATHAR'/889] :-
Muhammad ibn al hassan said, "Abu Hanifah informed us saying,"Ubaydullah ibn Abi Ziyad narrated to us from Abî Najih from Abdullah ibn Umar that Asma' bint Umays came to the Prophet (PBUH),and she had a son from Abu Bakr (r.a.) son from Ja'far (r.a.) and she said,"Messenger of Allah,I fear the eye' for your two nephews;should I use amulets and incantations to protect them?"He said,"Yes, for if anything could outstrip the Decree 'the eye would outstrip it."Muhammad ibn al hassan said, "We adhere to this if it consists of dhikr of Allah or is from the Book of Allah.That is the verdict of Abu Hanifah,may Allah,exalted is He, have mercy on him."
So according to the Wahabis and all those who call Tawiz shirk.Imam Abu Hanifa is a Mushrik(Ma'az Allah) including all of his students and followers for promoting Tawiz.That includes the majority Ummah who follow the Hanafi Madhab.Something called permissible by the pious predecessor's is now called shirk by an innovator who came 250+ years ago as clearly stated in Kitab at Tauheed.
Who is the innovator now?And in his Innovation, who has he called a Mushrik. The accusation has gone to the Holy Prophet Sayyiduna Muhammad PBUH (Astaghferullah),his companions,the pious predecessor's,and the whole Hanafi Madhab for endorsing the use of Tawiz/Amulets.
•✓Ibn Taymiyya writes in his Fatawa on Ta'aweez:-
“It is permissible for an ill or troubled person, that certain verses from the Qur’an are written with pure ink, then it is washed and given to the ill to drink.Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth.Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him) says:-This Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman.We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this”
Ref:- (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya,19/65).
•✓Ibn Taymiyya’s student Ibn al-Qayyim also narrates "the permissibility of using Ta’wizes is from a number of salafs including the great Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Allah have mercy on him)". Thereafter Ibn al-Qayyim himself quotes various Ta’wizes.
Ref:- [Zad al-Ma’ad, 3/180].
•✓Imam al-Qurtubi wrote in detail about both types of ahadith concerning ta'wiz:-
"The ta'wiz that are forbidden are those ta'wiz from the Time of Ignorance - those which are satanic and contain an element of shirk [mantar, voodoo and magic, etc.]. The ta'wiz, which are permitted are those written with du'as evidently from Qur'an and ahadith only"
Ref:-[al-Qurtubi, at-Tadhkirat, chapter on 'Ta'wiz']
•✓Imam Al-Qurtubi in his tafsir under the verse 17:82 writes :-
"This is from the group of the people of knowledge that, after descend of scourge, all that is hanged (around neck) from the names of Allah or from his Book (verses of Qur'an) to seek healing and comfort from Allah, this protection is permissible.
Ref:- [Tafsir Al-Qurtubi under the verse 17:82]
Some important points:-
Today we have people who are victims of immoderation. There are some people who declare all types of Ta’wizes to be Shirk and Kufr. Others, on the other hand, think Ta’wizes to be everything. Both these types of understandings are incorrect.
Using of Ta’wizes is permissible, but with moderation. Normally it is better to recite the Duas which are prescribed for every problem and illness, and along with that resort to medical treatment. However, if Ta’wizes are used sometimes, then it is permissible.
If there is a fear that a person will begin to think the Ta’wiz to be effective in it self, then he should not be given the Ta’wiz. This will be the decision of the person who is giving the Ta’wiz, and not for us to decide for him.
There are many people who never make Dua and are neglectful of the Shariah injunctions, but always depend on Ta’wizes.For such people, it is better not to give them Ta’wizes,rather to direct them to the straight path.
