Are Spells Of Love Permitted In Islam?

Scholars agree that it is haram to wear amulets for protection if they contain anything other than the Quran, but differ on whether they are permitted or not. In choosing a partner, the most important factor should be Taqwa (piety and consciousness of Allah), and Islam emphasizes love beyond mere romantic notions.

Love in Islam is divided into specific love, which can be divided into permissible love and prohibited love. General love is of three types: natural love, love based on, and love based on supernatural beings. These languages of love can be used to express love and affection towards others and play an important role in strengthening relationships.

The Prophet (peace and blessings of Allaah be upon him) accepted his bay’ah, saying that “Whoever wears an amulet has committed shirk”. Belief and practice in magic in Islam is widespread and pervasive, both historically and currently in Islamic culture.

In Muslim culture, “white magic” occupies a special place, with many people coming to Djenne to learn the art of magic from a marabout. The Marabouts in Djenne are well known in Mali and beyond for their skill in magic.

Black magic is condemned in Islam, but Muslim thinkers are not clear on how to deal with this superstitious holdover from an earlier age. Both the Quran and hadith make reference to witchcraft, the evil eye, and supernatural beings known in Arabic as jinn.

In conclusion, Islam emphasizes love, mutual affection, intimacy, and compassion, and the importance of understanding and addressing the superstitious practices of black magic and love magic.
