Amulet (7irz)

[Endure Whisper]

Does touching someone else's 7irz (translate?) harm you, physically or spriritually, if it was a bad 7irz?

This could sound like a silly question but I really need to know as I caught someone's 7irz without knowing it was a 7irz and the mud (or whatever stuff inside the paper) fell on my hands and made contact with my skin.

I don't know why but I felt this is more appropriate to be placed in the Islamic sabla, though please move if it's not.

[MoZeS]

isn't that Supposed to be haram in the first place?
in islam we have the "Ruqia" instead of "7irz"
and the ruqia isn't harmful because it deals with god.
but a 7irz deals with the jinn who are not allowed
to be in contact with human beings; excuse my shallow
knowledge in these issues, all i can say is just wash your
hand and be faithfull or ask a sheikh :P

Nothing can haram you or benefit you unless it is something written against you or for you by Allah.

There is a hadeeth saying this.

[IntI]

If u r afraid of something bad happen to u,juz read ruqya and that will keep jins away from u. what's 7rz anyway?!

Once upon a time..
My uncle gave me a 7irz, told me that its going to protect me against any harm, jinn, etc. and dared me to enter a grave yard, then open the 7irz n read it on my way back. There was a huge cemetary in front of my grandfather's old house. I wore it around my neck and felt like superman! I went to the grave yard and walked around like its hyde park. On my way back, I stopped near a light and opened the 7irz and SHIZEN, it was a newspaper cutting!

The point I learnt: its all in your head. It wouldn't give you the feeling you get unless you believe it gives you that feeling.
