Were My Previous Salah and Duas Accepted if I Wore Amulets Out of Ignorance?

Walekumussalam,

In light of Islamic principles, wearing amulets, tulsi leaves, or charms on the body is impermissible and falls under minor shirk (shirk al-asghar), especially when they are given by a Hindu or contain shirk-related elements. This remains wrong even if a person believes that Allah alone controls benefit and harm, because such items create reliance on means of protection outside what Allah has legislated. A Hindu charm in particular is even more serious and should be avoided completely.

However, since your belief was that everything is in Allah’s hands, your previous prayers and supplications remain valid and can still be accepted. You should sincerely repent, remove these items, and avoid wearing them in the future. Such actions do not invalidate salah unless a person falls into major shirk (shirk al-akbar).
