Question:
Assalamu Alaikum Sayyidi,
May Allah keep you and bless you and your family, Amen.
Please forgive me for my lack of Adab and ignorance.
I’m personally very content and happy wearing my Taweez, but I have a difficult time explaining it to my family, especially when they see me wearing it. I presented them with the link that had an english article about the permissibility of Taweez, but they didn’t understand it.
I tried searching for Arabic texts but all I came across was Wahabi links.
Would it be possible to point me to some Arabic resources that I can seek?
JazakumuAllahu Khairan,
Wassalam
Answer:
`Alaykum al-Salam,
Here is a fatwa on their permissibility by the great Shafi`i faqih of Madina, Zayn b. Sumayt (Allah preserve him), from his book al-Ajwibat al-Ghaliya. (Fatwa on Ta`weezh PDF)
