Is it permissible to slaughter a sheep with the intention of warding off the evil eye from a girl who experiences disturbing dreams, and how should it be distributed?
We advise fear of Allah and the recitation of the Qur’an and the prescribed supplications for the daughter, especially Ayat al-Kursy before sleeping. Also, to consistently perform the morning and evening adhkar (remembrances) and the supplications for entering, exiting, and eating, and to recite Al-Baqarah at home, because "taking it is a blessing and abandoning it is a cause of regret, and the sorcerers cannot confront it." (Related by Muslim). And whoever recites it at night, Satan will not enter their house for three nights, and whoever recites it during the day, Satan will not enter their house for three days. There is no objection to taking her to a Sheikh to perform (exorcism) on her. Charity has a great virtue; it protects against evil mishaps, and calamity does not bypass charity. There is no objection to the charity being a slaughtered sheep distributed among the poor.
