The answer

It cannot be definitively stated that your sister's engagement was affected by magic (sihr). However, your mother and sister must repent to Allah Almighty for falling into this great evil, as the Prophet (peace be upon him) said: "He is not one of us who practices divination or has it practiced for him, or who practices sorcery or has it practiced for him, or who casts a spell or has a spell cast for him. And whoever comes to a soothsayer and believes what he says has disbelieved in what was revealed to Muhammad." Repentance involves abandoning the sin, regretting it, and resolving not to return to it. A sound repentance erases what came before it. The best cure for magic and protection from it is to diligently recite the prescribed remembrances (adhkar) and , while relying on Allah.
