The ruling on fumigating a person afflicted with the evil eye using the hair of the one suspected of causing it
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Some of the common people place incense in which they put the hair of the person they believe caused the evil eye for a certain individual, and they fumigate the afflicted person with it. Is this action prescribed?
Answer:
This is closer to sorcery than to treatment. This is not permissible. The Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) explained how sorcery is treated, as was mentioned to you in some of the recent nights. It was mentioned to you how the evil eye is treated, how the evil eye is treated, and how sorcery is treated. It is not treated by burning hair, and all of this is among superstitions. Yes.
