Hirz-e-Abu Dujana

Question:-

I would like to know about the Hirz-e-Abu Dujana. Is it permissible to write and use as a Taweez in the home? Also does the use of Taweez weaken a person’s Imaan?

Answer:-

1. The ‘Hirz of Abu Dujana’ should not be used. The narration is fabricated and the Sanad is incomplete. Also, most of the narrators are unknown.

هذا حديث موضوع بلا شك واسناده مقطوع وليس في الصحابة من اسمه موسي أصلا واكثر رجاله مجاهيل لا يعرفون (الموضوعات لابن الجوزي ص169 ج30)

2. A Taweez is not effective on its own unless Allah Ta’ala makes it beneficial. If one uses a Taweez having the conviction that Allah Ta’ala is the One that cures and Protects and not the Taweez, then there is no harm is using the Taweez. If the correct belief is maintained whilst using the Taweez as explained above, then the Imaan of a person will not be affected.

ALLAH TA’ALA KNOWS BEST!
