There are some opinions about the using of talisman and amulet :
At-Tama’im is the act of putting an amulet around the necks of children to save them from the effect of evil eye.It was allowed and disallowed by some.Some ancestor allowed that if the amulet contains the verses of the Qur’an or Allah’s Names and Attributes.Ibn Mas’ud ( May Allah be pleased with him ) was among those who disapproved by using an amulet.
