The answer

"The evil eye is real, and thus the Sharia brought what repels it and removes its harm. The Prophet commanded abundant remembrance of Allah in the morning and evening, and these remembrances were established to protect a person from what they dislike. As for treating the evil eye by drawing in sand, hanging threads, or similar practices, these are not part of the religion of Islam; rather, scholars have agreed on forbidding them. As for treating the evil eye with eggs, if sorcerers use it with incantations, then it is not permissible."
