Is it permissible to use incense and herbs if it is established that they are beneficial and remove the effect of the evil eye?

Question:
The questioner says: If it is established through experience that using certain incense and certain beneficial herbs is effective and removes the effect of the evil eye, is it permissible to use them for this purpose?

Answer:
The evil eye is treated with ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation); it is treated with ruqyah and with du'a' (supplication). It is not treated with medicines. Medicines are not for that. That is not the sorcery that is treated with appropriate medicines. As for the evil eye, it is treated with dhikr (remembrance of Allah), ruqyah, and recitation. Yes. And the one who cast the eye, if he is known, is asked to wash; he takes a ghusl (full ritual bath), and his washing water is taken and poured on the afflicted person, and he is healed by the permission of Allah. Yes. Honorable Shaykh. (peace and blessings be upon him) . Yes.
