Taweez (Amulets) & Charms

I am not in a happy mood today. had a disagreement about taweez being placed around Umar's (our son) neck.

Now I am not a scholar so I can't say for definite if there is a clear right or wrong anwswer with regards to people wearing amulets (taweez). Its not something I have ever done or have been taught by my parents to do. Always believed in the innvocation of dua and asking Allah (swt) for protection, forgiveness etc.

I am now officially a 'tyrant' for forcing my point of view. Sometimes I feel I dont know where I stand, what role do I have to play in family life, if any. Obviously when you become parents the whole dynamic of your relationship changes, maybe I need to get aquainted to this new change. Probably the best course of action is to go home say sorry (insha allah) ... I will do.Perhaps I am too rigid in my own thinking and thoughts. Maybe I need someone to show me the light. I guess I need to think long and hard about my own role and intentions in this 'stand off'.

The web is very confusing about this issue. I have found several articles saying its not permissible to have taweez. Then again Haji IAK has said that it is permissible, again i think it goes back to the intention. Maybe its best to stay away from controversial issues. Its very prevalent in pakistani culture to wear amulets. More diggin is required

who said life is easy, you get good days and you get bad days.....back to work, back to the grind
