The ruling on guaranteeing the harm caused by the evil eye and what is said regarding indulging one's own desires

Question:
Is the one who casts the evil eye liable for what he destroys with his eye? And is he subject to retaliation if he is a human being, or not?

Answer:
The jurists have mentioned that if it is known that a person harmed another person and killed him with his eye, and he himself admitted to it—meaning he admitted that he killed him with his eye—they said that retaliation is carried out against him, because he admitted to the killing by a cause that is valid for killing, which is the evil eye. If the one who casts the evil eye admits that he killed this person intentionally, then retaliation is carried out against him.
They also mentioned that if it is known that a person harms people with the evil eye, they said that he is to be detained and not allowed to go out among the people until he dies. They say he is detained and not allowed to go out among the people until he dies; food and drink are brought to him while he is in his place, and he does not walk with the people. May Allah be our helper. But you must place your reliance on Allah and hold fast to Allah. Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, protects the believer. In the two chapters of seeking refuge (al-Mu'awwidhatan) this includes the one who casts the evil eye; because the one who casts the evil eye is envious. So a person should hold fast to the daily recitations, recite the Verse of the Throne, recite the two chapters of seeking refuge, and increase in the remembrance of Allah and seeking refuge in Allah, and nothing will harm him by the permission of Allah. He takes the lawful means and places his reliance on Allah, because some people are afflicted with anxiety and think that everyone harms them with the evil eye and that they cannot escape being harmed. This becomes a sign of weak faith, and also of Satan’s dominance over the person, and of obsessive thoughts. A person holds fast to Allah and places his reliance on Allah, and nothing harms except by the permission of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. Yes. No, it is not permissible to gouge out his eye. This is a criminal offense; it is not permissible. And it is not a defect in the eye; there is no defect in the eye regarding looking.
