Question:
Salam
I had a couple questions regarding taweez. I have heard from numerous people that wearing taweez is considered Shirk and that the verses of the Quran should not be worn. Although the taweez consists of Quranic Verses, only Allah can protect you from any harm. I also heard a story that a man came to the Prophet Mohammed (S) and wore something around his neck similar to a taweez, and the Prophet Mohammed (S) ripped it off his neck telling him not to wear such things. Under what circumstances should people wear a taweez, if it should be worn at all?
Shukran
