Question:
A phenomenon has spread in our country, which is placing car tires on top of houses with the intention of warding off the evil eye, as they claim. What is the advice?
Answer:
This is not permissible. This is a false belief. Placing tires on top of houses to ward off the evil eye is a belief of shirk (associating partners with Allah). It is not permissible. The evil eye is warded off by dhikr (the remembrance of Allah), by the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and by the daily recitation. It is not warded off by tires, car tires. Yes.
