Accepted Answer

All perfect praise be to Allaah, the Lord of the worlds. I testify that there is none worthy of worship except Allaah and that Muhammad, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, is His slave and Messenger.

If the chain is made of leather and used for adornment, then it involves imitation of women and people of bad moral character. If it is intended to ward off the evil eye, then it falls under the ruling of an amulet, which the Messenger, sallallaahu ‘alayhi wa sallam, ordered to be cut, and he said that it adds nothing to the one who bears it except weakness.

Allaah Knows best.
