How can one deal with a nineteen-year-old young man who is experiencing sudden negative behavioral changes, despite his excellence and standing, and the description of adolescence does not apply to him, taking into account that he might be bewitched?
It is advisable to understand his problems, study his psyche, and check on his situation outside the home, while also focusing on his prayers and acts of worship. Going to sorcerers and charlatans is forbidden, and repentance and seeking forgiveness are obligatory for anyone who has done so. The sudden change in a young person's life might be due to envy, magic, or the evil eye, and its treatment involves reciting the Quran, morning and evening remembrances (adhkar), and performing legal ruqyah. It is important to rally around the young man and seek the help of good and righteous people to accompany him and pull him away from bad company, while also making abundant supplications for his guidance.
