Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, this questioner says: Does fear of being struck by the evil eye contradict reliance upon Allah?
Answer:
No, it does not contradict it, for there are apparent reasons. The evil eye is a reality, as the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:. This is an authentic hadith. The evil eye is a reality; Allah has placed it in the eyes of some people, as Ibn al-Qayyim said. Some people say that his gaze is poisoned. His gaze is poisoned; he is the one who strikes with the evil eye, and if he looks at something, it is struck. Yes.
The presenter:
That is possible.
