Verses, Surahs, and Treatment for Sorcery and the Evil Eye

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
May Allah reward you. This questioner asks: What are the verses and surahs we use to treat sorcery and the evil eye? I have heard that water recited over, along with sidr leaves, is used to treat sorcery. Please explain this to us in detail, may Allah forgive you?

Answer:
Yes, ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) for sorcery and other illnesses is prescribed. One recites Surat al-Fatihah, then blows on the patient or the one afflicted with sorcery, and recites the verses that mention sorcery, such as Allah the Exalted saying:
And say, "Truth has come, and falsehood has departed. Indeed is falsehood, [by nature], ever bound to depart."جَاءَ الْحَقُّ وَزَهَقَ الْبَاطِلُ إِنَّ الْبَاطِلَ كَانَ زَهُوقًا
[Al-Isra 17:81]
and such as Allah the Exalted saying:
So the truth was established, and abolished was what they were doing.فَوَقَعَ الْحَقُّ وَبَطَلَ مَا كَانُوا يَعْمَلُونَ
[Al-A'raf 7:118]
, and Allah the Exalted saying:
What they have crafted is but the trick of a magician, and the magician will not succeed wherever he is."إِنَّمَا صَنَعُوا كَيْدُ سَاحِرٍ وَلَا يُفْلِحُ السَّاحِرُ حَيْثُ أَتَىٰ
[Taha 20:69]
, and such as Allah the Exalted saying:
What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allah will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allah does not amend the work of corrupters. (82) And Allah will establish the truth by His words, even if the criminals dislike it."مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ السِّحْرُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُ إِنَّ اللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ الْمُفْسِدِينَ وَيُحِقُّ اللَّهُ الْحَقَّ بِكَلِمَاتِهِ وَلَوْ كَرِهَ الْمُجْرِمُونَ
[Yunus 10:81-82]
.
Reciting over water and giving it to the patient to drink is also supported by evidence. As for the leaves of sorcery, some scholars mentioned that seven green sidr leaves are ground and mixed with water, and the afflicted person bathes with it over his entire body. All of these are well-known types of treatment. Yes.
