Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, what is the ruling on one who pours molten lead onto a plate above a person's head and claims that it is a proven method for warding off the evil eye?
Answer:
No, this is not what they do to ward off the evil eye. They do this—pouring molten lead—to break sorcery, because the sorcerer is revealed at that time. This is not permissible. This is part of the practice of sorcery, and sorcery is not removed by sorcery like it. This is forbidden. Yes.
