Protection from the evil of jinn is achieved by seeking refuge in Allah and invoking His protection. It is not permissible to cure magic with similar magic, but only with from the Qur'an and . Whoever has these thoughts should avoid and disregard them, believing that Allah alone is the Granter of benefit and the Inflictor of harm. And one who is weak in faith should strengthen their faith so that Allah may grant them well-being.
