Guarding Against the Evil Eye and Its Relationship to Reliance upon Allah

Question:
A questioner asks: Does guarding against the evil eye contradict reliance upon Allah?

Answer:
The evil eye is a reality, as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said, and if anything were to the evil eye is a reality, but you should recite the morning and evening adhkar. Fortify yourself with the remembrance of Allah (Glorified and Exalted is He), and it will not harm you, if Allah wills, nor will any other of the things to be feared. If you fortify yourself in the morning and evening with the adhkar using the authentic supplications, then Allah the Mighty and Majestic will suffice you from the evil of the evil eye. Yes.
