The ruling on placing a black dot on the forehead to ward off the evil eye

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. A questioner says: What is the ruling on placing a black dot on the forehead in order to ward off the evil eye?

Answer:
What Allah willed. This dot does not ward off the evil eye. Nothing wards off the evil eye except the remembrance of Allah and the morning and evening adhkar. This is what wards off the evil eye, by the permission of Allah. The black dot does not make your whole body black; it does not prevent the evil eye. Yes.
