Fatwas of the Permanent Committee>Group 1>Volume 1: `Aqidah (1)>Creeds>Influence of the envious eye>How to be cured from an evil eye

(Part No. 1; Page No. 275) The second question of Fatwa no. 4393 Q 2: Is it permissible to treat the harm caused by the evil (envious) eye using the incense of alum, herbs, leaves, and the like? A: It is not permissible to treat the harm caused by the cast of evil eye with what was mentioned, as they are not among the usual means of treatment. The meaning behind using incense may be to pacify the devils from among the Jinn and to seek their help in healing. The evil eye, however, should be treated by the lawful Ruqyah (reciting Qur’an and saying supplications over the sick seeking healing) and other prescribed supplications that are authentically reported in the Sahih (authentic) Hadith. May Allah grant us success. May peace and blessings be upon our Prophet Muhammad, his family, and Companions.
