Is the aforementioned method of taking the trace of the 'aa'in (person who afflicted with the evil eye) valid and Islamically beneficial for treating a person afflicted by the evil eye?
The fatwa called for consistent recitation of adhkar (remembrances) to seek protection from the evil eye and harm, warning against suspecting people and accusing them without proof. It cited verses and hadiths that prohibit ill-conjecture and affirm the sanctity of a Muslim. It also clarified that the evil eye is real, and its treatment involves the one who cast the eye performing ghusl (ritual bath), then the water being poured over the affected person. It emphasized that taking excretions from the one who cast the eye has no basis in Islamic law.
