The answer

The evil eye is real, and protection from it is achieved through and prophetic supplications, not through amulets or charms. Carrying stones or amulets for protection from the evil eye or magic is considered hanging forbidden amulets, and whoever hangs them has committed . To dispose of amulets, their knots should be untied—if any exist—and their parts separated, then they should be destroyed by burning or similar means.
