Praying the funeral prayer over one afflicted by the evil eye to remove its effect
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: It has become widespread among people that if the funeral prayer is performed over one who has been afflicted by the evil eye, the effect of the evil eye is removed. Is there a basis for this?
Answer:
This is a lie. The funeral prayer is not performed except over a dead person. If it is performed over a living person, that is a bid'ah (religious innovation). The funeral prayer is never performed over a living person; it is only performed over the dead. If he dies, you are relieved of him, and it is over with. As for the claim that it removes the evil eye, that is superstition; it has no basis. Yes.
