Fear of the Evil Eye and Protecting Children
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Finally, the sister questioner, Umm Ibrahim, says: If a woman fears for her children from the evil eye, is this considered waswas (whispers of Shaytan)? And how does she protect her children? May Allah reward you.
Answer:
The evil eye is something to be feared, but one should not exaggerate in that to the point of having obsessions or doubts. As for fear of the evil eye, the evil eye is a reality. Ya'qub (peace be upon him)[Yusuf 12:67], he feared for them from the evil eye because of the beauty of their appearance and their number, and certainly they were striking to look at. So if a person fears with genuine fear, he protects himself with the remembrance of Allah. As for mere obsessions and illusions, he rejects them and does not pay attention to them. He should stick to the morning and evening adhkar and the constant remembrance of Allah, and increase in the remembrance of Allah. Yes.
