Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people say, “I do not speak of what Allah has blessed me with because I fear the evil eye.”
Answer:
The evil eye? Yes, this is from Shaytan. You should speak of Allah’s blessings as a form of gratitude, and the evil eye will not harm you, by Allah’s permission, because you are acting on the words of Allah the Exalted:[Ad-Duhaa 93:11] People see your wealth. If you do not speak of it, they still see your wealth. Those who have the evil eye will strike you even if you do not speak of it. Yes, but you should guard against them by the remembrance of Allah the Exalted and by your regular recitations. Yes.
