Envy (hasad) and the evil eye (ayn) are real, but treating them with lead (melting lead) or similar methods is a form of forbidden charlatanism and sorcery, because it constitutes divination and deception of people. The method of treating envy and the evil eye has been previously explained. Furthermore, some use the word "al-rasd" to mean a type of magic, and the ruling on that and its treatment have also been previously explained.
