The answer

If they are mere doubts and delusions, one should not succumb to them, lest they lead to obsessive thoughts and psychological ailments. A Muslim should rely on Allah to protect him, for "And whoever relies upon Allah - then He is sufficient for him."

Magic can be nullified by erasing it if it is written, or by burying it, or burning it. It is best to present the matter to those experienced in (Islamic exorcism) and nullifying magic, while being mindful not to destroy anything that can be utilized unless there is a strong overriding benefit, as Islamic law prohibits wasting wealth. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, said: "Indeed, Allah, the Most High and Exalted, has forbidden for you: disobedience to mothers, burying daughters alive, and demanding without giving. And He disliked for you three things: gossiping, excessive questioning, and wasting wealth."
