Summary
Keeping talismans and writings one does not understand in order to attract wealth is a superstitious practice that contradicts Islamic creed and may lead to shirk. Family members share the responsibility to correct it. When it involves parents, the advice must be given wisely, gently and harmoniously without hurting their feelings. The advice should be continued, accompanied by prayer that their hearts be opened, and followed by reliance on Allah.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Oleh itu, menyimpan tangkal dan tulisan yang tidak difahami sebagai usaha untuk menarik rezeki merupakan satu amalan khurafat yang bertentangan dengan akidah Islam serta boleh menjerumuskan seseorang kepada kesyirikan.
