▫️. Tamimah, an amulet* which is hung around children's necks to protect them from envy. It may be worn by adults, men and women, to ward off evil. It is of two kinds:

*🔸. The first opinion,* which includes parts of the Qur'an, or some of Allah's names and attributes, and is worn around the neck for the purpose of healing. This kind of amulets, scholars are at variance concerning wearing them. Some scholars believe in its permissibility according to Abdullah bin Amr bin al-Aas who quoted a statement of A'aishah implying its permissibility.

Abu Ja'far al-Baqir, and Ahmed bin Hanbal, both considered the command of prohibiting wearing them apply only to those amulets that include Shirk.

*🔸. The second opinion,* of prohibiting wearing them is based on the statement of Ibn Mas'ood and Ibn Abbas, who quoted the statement of Hudthaifah, Uqbah bin Amir and Ibn Aqim, which was also adopted by a number of Tab'ieen, the companions of Ibn Mas'ood and Ahmed, and considered by the latter generations as prohibited using as a proof the following statement of Ibn Mas'ood:.

_*“I heard the Messenger of Allah saying: 'That some of charms and amulets and Tiwalah (a spell which is used to make a man love his wife, or the other way round) constitute Shirk.”*_ [Abu Dawood, Ahmed, Ibn Majah, al Hakim]. We say: *The second opinion, is the right one due to three reasons;*
⚪️. The general prohibition of wearing them.
⚪️. Barring access to what may be conducive to the unlawful.
⚪️. If one wears an amulet containing Qur'anic Ayat, he is apt to carry it with him into washrooms, while relieving or cleansing himself or the like.

The second kind of amulets, that are worn by people, but do not include parts of the Qur'an, such as beads, bones, seashells, threads, shoe soles, nails, names of Satan and Jinn, or any talismanic items are absolutely prohibited and constitutes Shirk because it is considered as an attachment to other than Allah. According to the Hadith: _*"He who wears a thing shall be committed to it.”*_ [At-Tirmidhi]

_The weak and defective creed is the real ailment, which must be cured by knowing the true meaning of Tawhid and the sound Aqidah._

▪️ *The Ruling of Swearing by other than Allah*
➖➖➖

*▫️. Swearing by other than Allah*
An oath: a solemn appeal to Allah to witness one's determination, or to emphasize a judgment by mentioning a glorified one in particular. Glorification and exaltation are due to Allah Alone, therefore, it is not permissible to swear by other than Allah. Scholars are agreed that an oath must be sworn by Allah, His names or attributes only, and that swearing by other than Allah constitutes Shirk.

Ibn Umar, may Allah be pleased with him, reported that the Allah's Messenger said: _*"He who swears by other than Allah, commits Kufr or Shirk."*_ [Ahmed and others]
It is minor Shirk unless the one who is sworn by is aggrandized by the one who swears, to the point of worship, then it constitutes major Shirk. Such as the case of grave worshippers of today; they fear dead people whom they aggrandize more than they fear Allah, to the point that if one of them is asked to swear by the wall' whom he aggrandizes, he would not dare to do so, unless he swears on a truth, but if he is asked to swear by Allah, he would do so even if he is telling lies.

An oath signifies exalting the one by whom it is sworn, while exaltation is due to Allah Alone, and an oath which is sworn by Allah must be revered, and should not be taken quite often. Allah, the Exalted, says: *"And do not obey any mean swearer."* (68:10)
And He also said: *"And observe your oaths."* (5:89)
That is swearing only when you have to, and only when you are telling the truth because frequent swearing and lying signifies taking lightly swearing by Allah and the lack of exalting Him. This contradicts the perfect belief in the Oneness of Allah.

Then Allah's Messenger said: _*“Three people Allah will not talk to them, nor will He purify them, and they shall receive a painful torment.”*_
In this Hadith the Prophet, enumerated among those three people. _*“A man who made Allah as his commodity. That is, buying nothing except by swearing by Allah, and selling nothing but by swearing by Allah.”*_ [At Tabarani].

Stressing on threats against frequent swearing indicates its prohibition out of reverence to the name of Allah, the Exalted, and out of His exaltation, Glory be to Him. Prohibited too is swearing by Allah falsely, such is called the plunger. Allah has described the hypocrites as taking oaths, falsely and knowingly.
*[NOTE: The plunger, a false oath which one purposely swears knowing the case to be the contrary thereof. in order to cut off the rights of others. It plunges its swearer into sin, and then into Hell Fire]*
