Are there types of the evil eye?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Your Eminence, may Allah preserve you, the questioner asks: Are there types of the evil eye—I mean envy—such that some evil eye harms the afflicted person severely, while other evil eye harms the afflicted person with minor harm?
Answer:
The evil eye is a reality, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said: It may be that the evil eye strikes and harms some people. It is not by the choice of the person. It may be that when he sees something he likes, the one afflicted by the evil eye is struck by something that harms him. So the person seeks refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created, morning and evening, three times. This is among the means of protection. He says: Sunan Abi Dawud 3898Sahih (Al-Albani) Morning and evening, three times. This is among the means of protection. And he says: Sunan Ibn Majah 3869 Three times, morning and evening. This is among the means of protection.
And the evil eye is a reality that may come from a person without his choice. He may see something he likes, such as a person’s health or the abundance of his wealth, or something else; and it may happen that he casts the evil eye on him. Yes, meaning he looks at him. Yes.

Answer:
The evil eye is a reality, just as the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) said:
The evil eye is a reality, and if anything had preceded the divine decree, the evil eye would have preceded it.
العين حق، ولو أن شيئًا سبق القضاء لسبقته العينI take refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He created
أعوذ بكلمات الله التامات من شر ما خلقBismillahil-ladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shay'un fil-ardi wa la fis-sama'i wa Huwas-Sami'ul-'Alim
باسم الله الذي لا يضر مع اسمه شيء في الأرض ولا في السماء وهو السميع العليمAnd the evil eye is a reality that may come from a person without his choice. He may see something he likes, such as a person’s health or the abundance of his wealth, or something else; and it may happen that he casts the evil eye on him. Yes, meaning he looks at him. Yes.
