Benefits of wearing an aqeeq stone

Q: Many people say that if you wear a stone such as "AQEEQ" on your hand, it will remove your problems, pains in life and open ways for you. People give reference of Ahaadeeth. What does Islam say about it?

A: Some stones have certain properties and some stones may bring about some relief. The stone which has healing properties will be like a medication, provided there is no superstitious belief attached to it.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
