Why do some people tie black cloth on their vehicles and is it allowed according to Islamic law?

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by Jamia Binoria
Assalamu Alaikum!
I send you questions but often I get the reply after sending the question 2, 3 times. Please send the reply at the first instant. My question from you is that I have seen many vehicles in which people have tied black cloth. Is it Ja’iz? If no, then is there any sin on it or no? Please clarify.

These things are done as amulet against evil eye and the purpose behind this is to save that thing from evil eye by reflecting the vision of the looker from that thing, which , in itself is permissible but normally this type of amulets are adopted as a result of wrong belief and it is necessary to abstain from such acts.
