Can a person do something that causes another person to fail in their life?
The majority of Sunnis believe that magic is real and can affect the enchanted person, with Allah's permission, unlike the Mu'tazilah and the Qadariyyah.
The evidence for this held by Sunnis includes: 1. Verse 102 of Surat Al-Baqarah: "But the devils disbelieved, teaching people magic and that which was revealed to the two angels..." 2. Verse 4 of Surat Al-Falaq: "And from the evil of the blowers in knots." 3. The magic spell cast upon the Prophet (peace be upon him) by Labid ibn al-A'sam, which is an authentic . 4. The actual and visible occurrence of magic, as mentioned by Ibn al-Qayyim and Ibn Qudamah.
Methods of protection from magic: Piety towards Allah, observing His commands, reliance upon Him, seeking refuge in Allah, and eating seven dates in the morning.
Methods of removing magic: (exorcism) with the Qur'an and supplications, extracting and nullifying the magic, and cupping, emetics, and surgery if its effect appears in a specific organ.
