I told my brother that there is a fear of shirk involved in such practices. but he claims that it is bad if they make a baby to wear that thing on his neck & it is OK to feed him or to burn the substance so that the baby could smell its smoke. I advise him by saying ” please be patient and look after the baby” but he insist and keep asking me for the substance. at last I give him by saying that I m free from what you’ve done but i wish if u could not do it. is his claim right or wrong? am I regarded as the one who have helped them on this? May Allah (exalted be He) reward you.
