Summary
The Johor State Fatwa Committee ruled that keeping amulet cards and believing they hold extraordinary power, including as personal protection, is forbidden, a major sin and an act of associating partners with Allah. This is because reliance or supplication is directed through an amulet as an intermediary rather than to Allah alone. Muslims are prohibited from owning, keeping, reprinting, selling and distributing such cards, and those involved must repent promptly with sincere repentance.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Justeru, mana-mana orang Islam dilarang memiliki, menyimpan, mencetak semula, menjual, mengedarkan, kad azimat tersebut.
