The ruling on placing the Mus-haf (copy of the Qur'aan) in cars to
ward off the evil eye and for protection from danger is a bid'ah. The
Sahaabah (may Allaah be pleased with them) never carried the Mus-haf
to ward off danger or the evil eye. If itis bid'ah, then we should
remember that the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him)
said: "Every bid'ah is a going-astray and every going-astray will lead
to Hell." (Telephone conversation with Shaykh Muhammad ibn Saalih
al-'Uthaymeen) (al-Bida' wa'l-Muhdathaat wa maa laa aslun lahu, p.
259).
Shaykh 'Abd al-'Azeez ibn Baaz (may Allaah have mercy on him) was also
asked the following question: "Some people hang up aayaat of the
Qur'aan and ahaadeeth of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be
upon him) in the rooms oftheir homes or in restaurants or offices. In
some hospitals and doctors' offices they hang the aayah
(interpretation of the meaning): "And when I am ill, it is He Whocures
me" [al-Shu'ara' 26:80], and so on. Is this considered to be the use
of amulets which is forbidden in sharee'ah, knowing that the intention
behind it is to seek blessings and ward off the shayaateen, or to
remind the forgetful and warn the negligent? Is it like using amulets
to put the Mus-haf in one's car inorder to seek blessings?"
His Eminence replied as follows:
"If the intention is as described, to remind people and teach them
something beneficial, then there is no harm in that. But if they
believe that it is a protection against the shayaateen orjinn, then I
know of no basis for this. By the sametoken, there is no basis
forputting the Mus-haf in one's car to protect it, anddoing so is not
allowed, but if a person puts it in his car so that he can readit
sometimes or so that some of his passengers can read it, then this is
good and there is nothingwrong with it. And Allaah is the Source of
strength.
(Fatawa Islamiyyah, 4/29). (Shaykh Ibn Baaz may Allah have mercy on him) .
