Is what is happening—the feeling of distress, then temporary happiness, then intense regret when suitors propose to my two beautiful daughters—magic or envy?

1 min readAlso available in العربية

Your feeling of not wanting your two daughters to marry might stem from the intense love you have for them and your fear of losing them, or it could be due to jealousy.

To address this, if the reason is love, then know that marriage will not make you lose their affection; rather, it is a cause for their happiness and keeps them away from prohibitions. There is no meaning in wishing them ill.

If it is due to envy (hasad) or magic (sihr), then frequently recite the Quran, perform ruqya (Islamic exorcism), and seek refuge in Allah.

If it is due to jealousy, its cure lies in strengthening your faith, seeking refuge in Allah from Satan, the accursed, and acting naturally with suitors. It is also recommended to consult the psychological counseling section of the website.
