Wearing energy stones

A question about wearing energy stones, in which Jordan's General Iftaa Department answered that there is no objection to adorning oneself with customary gemstones, and that energy stones used for treatment are governed by experiment and scientific study: if their benefit is established they may be used, provided one does not believe the stone itself benefits or harms. ¹

The questioner asked about wearing so-called energy stones. ¹

The Department answered that there is no objection to a woman adorning herself with precious stones such as rubies, agate and the like, when they are among the things customarily worn for adornment. ¹ It said that so-called energy stones, when used for treatment, are a matter governed by experiment and scientific studies showing whether they have an effect; if studies or experience show a benefit to human health, there is no objection to using them, since they are part of God's creation like medicines taken from plants and other created things. ¹ It stipulated that a Muslim must not believe the stone itself is what benefits or harms; it is only one means among others, and the matter belongs to God alone. ¹

Jordan's General Iftaa Department published this fatwa on aliftaa.jo as no. 4429, dated 7 April 2026. ¹ The museum records this text as a historical document attributed to the body or scholar that issued it; it issues no ruling of its own.
