Amulets are of two types:
1 - Amulets with numbers, symbols and anything other than the Quran.
2 - Amulets containing Quran.

Regarding the first. There is no doubt this is haram and depending on the persons intention. It can be shirk also. The generality of the ayahs and ahadith clearly prohibit this. No muslim scholar has ever permitted this. Unless it is a mushrik with a muslim name.

As for the second category. Than this is disputed. No one has ever said it is fard or sunna. What is disputed is if it is OK to do.

Allahu alim

Remember what is disputed is usign the Quran as an amulet.

Anything other than this is haram and shirk.

woah there! You don't wanna be called a wahhabi, now do ya? Be careful. Next thing you know people will accuse you of being a British agent trying to destroy "traditional Islam"

I dont believe in saints, I dont believe in shrines, I dont do blind faith and dont care what that makes me

I once saw a Tawiz and it was not Quranic ayats it was a bunch of numbers.

They call it jadd or jabb numbers?

Yeh this is clearly haram. It is an ancient belief of numerology. the sufis adopt this from their pagan forefathers.

they believe numbers have a esoteric relationship. With life and everything else.

because its putting faith and attributing powers 2 one other than God which = Shirk = jahanam

[Mayana]

Yea, I don't believe in the so-called power of tawezoona whatsoever, I don't have faith in them.
But.. if ever.. someone made me a tawez and handed it to me so it would protect me, I think I'd keep it forever.. Not because I believe that it has some powers.. but because it would mean the world to me that someone went to take this action just for my protection. Yeaa call me crazy lol but to me, a tawez means nothing on a spiritual level.. but a LOT on a very emotional and personal level. =)

So all those millions of Afghans and Pakistanis who have Tawiz are performing shirk?

That's part of the ideology of certain extremist sects. They accuse the vast majority of Muslims of shirk. They use this as their justification for fighting and killing Muslims around the world. They infiltrate Muslim countries and attempt to spread their extremist ideology, and when the Muslims of those countries reject it, they fight and kill them. They have been attempting to do this in Afghanistan, but alhamdulillah Islam is strong in Afghanistan and Muslims are aware of the corruption of this ideology.

Yarr kho me laro da bal cha sho,
da daroghjan mulla de wark shi taaweezoona.

I am not against it. It has more cultural importance than religious. It is now a part and parcel of the Pashtoon culture. I like it, although dont believe in it.

if they are putting their faith and attributing powers to an inanimate object then yea.... this is the result of blind following and ignorence

is this your madhabie reply???? Shall I pray to a statue and say I do it because it brings me closer to Allah? shall I ser up icons in my house of prophets and have quranic verses around them and ask them for help... can a taweez do any harm or good? can it stop me from throwing it in2 the fire? No... so why do you attribute this garbage power?

certain cultural practises are wrong in all cultures... if its wrong uproot it and destroy it

The number of followers does not justify an action or realm a belief to be correct. This is the beauty of Islam. What is wrong remains wrong. No matter how many or who holds it.

it depends upon for what are we using it.. if we are using it for wrong... then the taweez must contain wrong wordings or humiliation of Islam and allah (astaghfirullah)

Exactly this is the opinion of the majorité d'ulemas or the majority of the scholars.
