Praise be to Allah, and may peace and blessings be upon the Messenger of Allah.
First: The importance of remembrance and acts of obedience in seeking protection
A Muslim should observe the obligatory acts of worship and frequently recite the prescribed remembrances and supplications recommended by the Prophet ﷺ. These are among the greatest means of protection from harm, while firmly believing that benefit and harm are in the hands of Allah alone.
Allah the Almighty says:
“But they cannot harm anyone through it except by Allah’s permission.” [Al-Baqarah: 102]
The Prophet ﷺ said to Ibn Abbas, may Allah be pleased with them both:
“Know that if the entire nation were to gather together to benefit you with something, they would not benefit you except with something that Allah had already decreed for you. And if they were to gather together to harm you with something, they would not harm you except with something that Allah had already decreed against you.” Narrated by At-Tirmidhi.
Second: How to protect your home
Among the most important means of protecting one's home are:
Observing the prayers, obligatory duties, and prescribed remembrances.
Reciting the Quran at home, especially Surah Al-Baqarah.
Regularly performing Islamic ruqyah and reciting Prophetic supplications.
Keeping one's heart attached to Allah and placing one's trust in Him.
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
“Do not turn your houses into graveyards. Indeed, Satan flees from a house in which Surah Al-Baqarah is recited.” Narrated by Muslim.
He ﷺ also said:
“Recite Surah Al-Baqarah, for taking it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of regret, and the sorcerers cannot withstand it.” Narrated by Muslim. The term al-batalah refers to sorcerers.
Third: Do not rush to accuse witchcraft
Not every family disagreement, delayed marriage, or setback in one's affairs is evidence of witchcraft. Such problems may have known religious or worldly causes.
Sheikh Ibn Baz, may Allah have mercy on him, warned that some people imagine they have been affected by witchcraft whenever their affairs become difficult, even though this does not necessarily indicate that they have been bewitched.
Therefore, judgments should not be based on suspicions, and one should not become preoccupied with interpreting every problem as witchcraft or possession.
Fourth: The ruling on seeking help from this sheikh
It is not permissible to visit or rely on someone who seeks assistance from the jinn and claims to control them or send them to protect homes.
It is better for a person to perform ruqyah on themselves and their family. If they need a ruqyah practitioner, they should choose someone known for righteousness and upright conduct who adheres to Islamic ruqyah.
Fifth: The ruling on wearing a ring over which Quran has been recited
The ring that the sheikh asked you to wear is considered an amulet. It is not permissible to wear or attach it for the purpose of protection from witchcraft and harm.
Imam Ahmad narrated from Uqbah ibn Amir, may Allah be pleased with him, that the Prophet ﷺ said:
“Whoever wears an amulet, may Allah not fulfill his wishes.”
Conclusion:
Do not continue consulting someone who claims to seek help from the jinn or send them to protect the home.
Do not wear the ring over which Quran has been recited for the purpose of protection.
Protect yourselves and your homes through the Quran and prescribed remembrances, especially Surah Al-Baqarah.
Do not regard disagreements and problems as conclusive proof of witchcraft, and do not surrender to illusions and suspicions.
And Allah knows best.
