Summary
Placing a love lock in the hope of finding a life partner, or of asking that one's jodoh with a partner remain lasting, is ruled haram. The fatwa likens it to al-Tiyarah, which is placing hope and belief in something that cannot in reality bring benefit. Such requests should be directed to Allah alone, and Muslims are urged to avoid superstitious practices.
Written in our own words from the original fatwa — check the source before acting on it.
Love Lock apabila diletakkan untuk tujuan mengharapkan jodoh, atau minta dikekalkan jodoh dengan mengunci mangga, adalah haram.
