It is not permissible to lie for fear of the evil eye, let alone to swear falsely. Sheikh Ibn Baz answered that it is not permissible to lie out of fear of the evil eye. Rather, one must state the truth, rely on Allah, and recite the prescribed remembrances, such as "I seek refuge in the perfect words of Allah from the evil of what He has created" three times in the morning and evening.
