The placing of a piece of cloth or that similar upon the belly Q. Is it permissible to place a piece of cloth, leather or that similar upon the belly of a child whilst it is of a suckling age or older? We in the South do this to small children as well as adults. I hope for information concerning this. A. If it is intended by placing this cloth or leather that which is intended through amulets of inducement of benefit or repulsion of harm, it is forbidden and it could even be Shirk. Whereas if it is for a correct purpose such as preventing the naval of the child from rising or supporting the back, there is no harm in it. May Allaah send peace and blessings upon our Prophet, his family and companions. The Permanent Committee [Fataawa alLujnati adDaaimah: 1/211]
