Is the foul odor that appears in the house and on the body, accompanied by bruises on the body and marital disputes, an indication of sorcery or the evil eye?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
If there is no apparent ordinary reason for what is happening, it might be sorcery (sihr) or the evil eye (ayn). The treatment for this is through (Islamic exorcism), remembrance of Allah (), and recitation of the Qur'an, especially Surat Al-Baqarah (The Cow). Indeed, Satan flees from a house in which it is recited, and it is a blessing; taking it (reciting it regularly) expels sorcerers.
