The questioner:
For example, from experience, we say that one knows the one who has been affected by magic, and the one who has been affected by the evil eye. May Allah reward you. And the one who has been affected by sorcery.
The Shaykh:

The questioner:
Peace.
The Shaykh:
Or is it a malicious person? No, except by their actions. The insane person is known by his actions, and the sorcerer is known by his actions. That is how it is. It is a wind from another source. It is a wind from another source.
