Protection from the Evil Eye and Obsessive Thoughts

Question:
The female questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I have fear; I am afraid for my children and afraid that they will go out. Is the evil eye a reality? I mean, I am committed to the idea that my children are afflicted with illnesses, or because they are beautiful. Is this statement correct?

Answer:
Yes, the evil eye is a reality, as in the hadith . This leads to obsessive thoughts and excessive fear. Rather, a person protects against the evil eye by the remembrance of Allah, by supplication, and by reciting the daily portions for his children. Make du'a for them in your daily recitation, in your morning and evening, and make du'a to Allah for them along with your du'a for yourself. This is the beneficial cause, by the permission of Allah. As for excessive fear and obsessive thoughts, I advise you to avoid them. Yes, take precautions to protect the children so that they do not go out into the streets, so they are not lost in the streets, and so they do not keep company with the wicked. Take those precautions. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh
