Question:
May Allah reward you with good. This sister says: Honorable Shaykh, some people say that those who fear the evil eye are the most likely to be exposed to it. Is this statement correct?
Answer:
Yes, if they develop a fear of the evil eye, they will be afflicted with waswas (whispers) and doubts, and they may be tested and struck by the evil eye. They should place their reliance on Allah and seek refuge in Allah from the evil of evildoers and the schemes of the wicked. They should recite the morning and evening adhkar, reading Surat al-Ikhlas and the two Mu'awwidhat (protective chapters). Surat al-Falaq contains seeking refuge from the sorceresses,[Al-Falaq 113:4-5], and Surat al-Nas contains seeking refuge from the whisperer, yes.
