A Muslim should not harbor excessive doubts. It is commendable for him to fortify himself with the prescribed legal remembrances (dhikr). Slaughtering, if it is an offering to Allah, is praiseworthy and rewarded. However, if it is for other than Allah, it is polytheism () and is not permissible to perform it to ward off the evil eye or for any other reason.
