Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Honorable Shaykh, I hope you, Shaykh, will cite some Prophetic hadiths that enable us to guard against the danger of sorcery, and mention examples from the Qur'an and the Sunnah that demonstrate the invalidity of this sorcery, and that it is among the destructive sins?
Answer:
If the intention is to guard against sorcery before it occurs, this is resisted by dhikr (remembrance of Allah), by the morning and evening adhkar, and by seeking refuge in Allah from the evil of sorcerers and from the evil of those who are affected by sorcery. One should use the adhkar and increase in reciting the Qur'an. This is after maintaining the obligatory acts, the obligatory prayers with congregation, so that one enters under the protection of Allah the Exalted and Majestic, and nothing will harm him, for Allah protects him with these prayers. The Muslim guards himself against sorcery before it occurs.
As for when sorcery has been cast upon him, it is treated. It is treated with permissible medicines. It is treated with the Shari'ah ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation) by those who are skilled in ruqyah. It is also treated by asking the one who cast the evil eye upon him to wash the inside of his undergarment and to perform wudu' (ablution) for him. The water from the wudu' and the water from washing the undergarment or clothes is poured over him, and he is cured by the permission of Allah the Exalted and Majestic. Likewise, one asks the one who cast the evil eye to make a blessing upon him and to supplicate for him with a blessing in his eye. As for sorcery, as we mentioned, it is treated with what Allah has prescribed. Yes.

May Allah reward you with good,
