Some Sufi's are claiming that Shaykh al Islam and his student Ibn al Qayyim both approved of the use of Ta'weez for healing. If anyone can answer the following please do so by recoursing to the original sources supplied:
Imam Ibn Taymiyya (Allah have mercy on him) writes in his Fatawa:
?It is permissible for an ill or troubled person, that certain verses from the Qur?an are written with pure ink, then it is washed and given to the ill to drink. Ibn Abbas (Allah be pleased with him) is reported to have mentioned a certain Dua that should be written and placed close to the woman who is experiencing hard labour at the time of giving birth.
Sayyiduna Ali (Allah be pleased with him) says: This Dua should be written and tied to the arm of the woman. We have experienced that there is nothing more amazing than this? (Fatawa Ibn Taymiyya, 19/65).
Imam Ibn Taymiyya?s student Imam Ibn al-Qayyim also narrates the permissibility of using Ta?wizes from a number of salafs including the great Imam Ahmad ibn Hanbal (Allah have mercy on him). Thereafter Ibn al-Qayyim himself quotes various Ta?wizes (Zad al-Ma?ad, 3/180).
