What is the legitimate Islamic treatment for obsessive whispers related to the evil eye and envy? Can a person be afflicted by the evil eye from themselves if they admire something and do not say "Barak Allahu Fih" (May Allah bless it)? Does affliction by the evil eye occur immediately or after a period of time? Is self-talk considered part of the evil eye or envy for which a person will be held accountable? Are morning and evening adhkar sufficient, or is it obligatory to say "Barak Allahu Fih" at all times? What is the ruling on saying "Barak Allahu Fih" or adhkar during a sin?

This matter is blameworthy waswasa (whispers from Satan), and its cure lies in repelling these thoughts, not dwelling on them, and consistently reciting adhkar (remembrances of Allah). It is sufficient for a Muslim, if they fear for themselves or others, to invoke blessings upon what impresses them, or to say: "Whatever Allah wills, there is no power except with Allah," based on the Almighty's saying: "And if only when you entered your garden, you had said, 'Whatever Allah wills, there is no power except with Allah'" (Quran 18:39), and according to the Prophet's (peace be upon him) saying: "No servant upon whom Allah bestowed a blessing, be it family, wealth, or child, says: 'Whatever Allah wills, there is no power except with Allah,' but that he will not see in it any affliction short of death," and his saying: "If one of you sees something in himself, his wealth, or whatever impresses him, let him invoke blessings." Invoking blessings can be done by saying: "O Allah, bless it," or "Blessed is Allah, the best of creators."
