The Ruqyah Practitioner’s Claim That the One Being Treated Will See the One Casting the Evil Eye During the Ruqyah

Question:
May Allah reward you. Some of those who perform ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) regarding the evil eye say to the person being treated, “You will see the one casting the evil eye during the ruqyah.” Is this reasonable?

Answer:
This is deception and lying, and it is from Shaytan. It is Shaytan who appears and manifests in the form of a person, saying, “This is the one casting the evil eye.” So let him beware of this.
A person came to Shaykh 'Abd al-'Aziz ibn Baz (may Allah have mercy on him) while the committee was in session, and we were with him. He was one of the trusted students of knowledge. He said to him, “I see this; I perform ruqyah and I see this. Is it permissible for me to continue?” The Shaykh said to him, “No, do not continue in this work.” So he left it; he left it. May Allah reward him with good. It is not permissible to believe this, and it is not permissible for the ruqyah practitioner to claim to see it or to believe that it is a jinn, so he should not believe it. Yes.
