Does fumigating with coarse salt and black seed repel distress, the evil eye, envy, and sorcery, or not? And what is the reason for that, what is its benefit, when is it done, and is it for fumigating oneself and the body, or the house?

The use of incense is of two types: one type is used by sorcerers and soothsayers with incomprehensible incantations, and this is impermissible. The other type is used to expel malevolent spirits without believing in the incense itself or reciting incantations. This type is permissible if its benefit is proven through experience, as it falls under the category of seeking remedies, and medicine is built upon experimentation. Sheikh Ibn Baz and Sheikh Muhammad bin Ibrahim have affirmed the permissibility of using lawful substances for fumigation if their benefit is proven through experience, while emphasizing that there is no Sharia prohibition.
