Question

Are we permitted to wear the four-leaf clover bracelets/ jewellery?

Answer

It is not permissible to wear the four-leaf clover bracelet. The leaves have been used by Christians to represent hope, faith, love, and luck. Others say that four-leaf clovers granted the power to see fairies, or they are related to Saint Patrick’s use of the shamrock to explain the Christian doctrine of the holy Trinity to the Irish. In conclusion, due to it having connotations of Kufr, wearing the bracelet will not be permitted.
