Sunan Abi Dawud 3886 (Book 29, Hadith 32) #24176
Permissibility of Spells and Charms

SUMMARY: Spells and charms are permissible as long as they do not involve polytheism.

'Awf b. Malik said : In the pre-Islamic period we used to apply spells and we asked: Messenger of Allah ! how do you look upon it ? He replied : Submit your spells to me. There is no harm in spells so long as they involve no polytheism.
حَدَّثَنَا أَحْمَدُ بْنُ صَالِحٍ، حَدَّثَنَا ابْنُ وَهْبٍ، أَخْبَرَنِي مُعَاوِيَةُ، عَنْ عَبْدِ الرَّحْمَنِ بْنِ جُبَيْرٍ، عَنْ أَبِيهِ، عَنْ عَوْفِ بْنِ مَالِكٍ، قَالَ كُنَّا نَرْقِي فِي الْجَاهِلِيَّةِ فَقُلْنَا يَا رَسُولَ اللَّهِ كَيْفَ تَرَى فِي ذَلِكَ فَقَالَ ‏ "‏ اعْرِضُوا عَلَىَّ رُقَاكُمْ لاَ بَأْسَ بِالرُّقَى مَا لَمْ تَكُنْ شِرْكًا

EXPLANATIONS:
This hadith discusses the permissibility of spells and charms in Islam. It is narrated by 'Awf b. Malik who asked the Prophet Muhammad ﷺ about the use of spells in pre-Islamic times. The Prophet ﷺ replied that there is no harm in using spells so long as they do not involve polytheism or associating partners with Allah SWT. This hadith teaches us that we should be careful when using any type of spell or charm to ensure that it does not involve any form of shirk or associating partners with Allah SWT which is strictly forbidden in Islam. We should also remember to always seek guidance from Allah SWT before engaging in any type of spiritual practice such as spell casting or charm making to ensure that it does not go against Islamic teachings and values.
