Question:
He says: I heard a hadith from the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him) stating that the evil eye is real. What is the ruling for one who knows that he harms people with his gaze? May Allah reward you with good.
Answer:
Yes, the hadith is authentic. The evil eye is real. This is something Allah created in some people, which is being struck by their gaze, and that is by the permission of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He). The evil eye is real, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said.
And as stated in the saying of Allah the Exalted:[Al-Qalam 68:51] As stated in the saying of Allah the Exalted in the Surah "Say, I seek refuge in the Lord of the Dawn," and at its end: [Al-Falaq 113:5] The evil eye is a strike from an envious person, and it is real. It occurred in the presence of the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), and he ordered the one who cast the evil eye to perform ghusl (ritual bath) and to wash the parts of his body that faced the afflicted person, and to pour that water on the afflicted person. This is part of the treatment for the evil eye. As for the one who cast the evil eye himself, he has no choice in the matter; because this is something not subject to his will. His striking with his eye is not voluntary. However, he is commanded to increase in the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic). He should increase in the remembrance of Allah (Mighty and Majestic), for that removes the harm of the evil eye and protects against it, by the permission of Allah. Yes. May Allah reward you with good, and may He do you good.

And as stated in the saying of Allah the Exalted:
And indeed, those who disbelieve would almost make you slip with their eyes when they hear the message, and they say, "Indeed, he is mad."
وَإِن يَكَادُ الَّذِينَ كَفَرُوا لَيُزْلِقُونَكَ بِأَبْصَارِهِمْ لَمَّا سَمِعُوا الذِّكْرَ وَيَقُولُونَ إِنَّهُ لَمَجْنُونٌAnd from the evil of an envier when he envies."
وَمِن شَرِّ حَاسِدٍ إِذَا حَسَدَ
