Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. Some people, when afflicted by the evil eye and the one who cast it is unknown, go to individuals they suspect might have cast it. They all take a ritual bath for him, and then he takes a ritual bath from them. What is the ruling on this action?
Answer:
If the accusation is strong and it is most likely that they afflicted him, then there is no harm in that. However, a mere accusation without a strong suspicion or evidence is bad suspicion of people. Yes.
