One of our brothers/sisters has asked
this question:
I have
a 8 month old daughter, we sometimes use some prevelant superstitious methods
to cure her from evil eye & it really works. As we use these methods our
baby stops crying & starts playing happily. can you please put some light
on it? Is it bidda or shirque?

Answer:
Cure from evil eye
In the name of Allah, We praise Him, seek His
help and ask for His forgiveness. Whoever Allah guides none can misguide,
and whoever He allows to fall astray, none can guide them aright. We bear
witness that there is none worthy of worship but Allah Alone, and we bear
witness that Muhammad (saws) is His slave-servant and the seal of His
Messengers.
Sahih Al-Bukhari Hadith 7.636 Narrated by Abu Huraira
The Prophet (saws) said, "The effect of
an ‘evil eye’ is a fact."
Sunan of Abu-Dawood Hadith 36 Narrated by Ruwayfi' ibn Thabit
The Messenger of Allah (saws) said: ‘You may
live for a long time after I am gone, Ruwayfi', so tell people that if anyone
ties his beard, or wears round his neck a string to ward off the evil eye, or
cleanses himself with animal dung or bone, Muhammad (saws) has nothing to do
with him.”
In the pre-Islamic days of ignorance, when the pagans
amongst the Arabs feared the effects of an ‘evil-eye’, in their ignorance, they
would perform many a rite and ritual to ward off its evil….like wear amulets,
tie their beards, or wear a string around their neck, or cleans themselves with
animal dung or bones, etc. The Messenger
of Allah (saws) absolutely and totally forbade the believers to perform such
useless and unlawful acts to ward of the evil….and commanded the believers to
simply recite the ‘Muawwidaat’ (113th Surah Al-Falaq and the 114th
Surah An-Naas), for that would more than suffice the believers.
Al-Tirmidhi Hadith 1019 Narrated by AbuSa'id al-Khudri
The Prophet (saws) used to seek protection
against the Jinn and the evil eye till Surahs al-Falaq and an-Nas (113th
and 114th Surahs of the Quran) were revealed. After they were
revealed he (saws) stuck to them and discarded everything beside them.
Thus all one needs to do when one fears the influence of
the ‘evil eye’ is seek the protection and refuge in Allah Subhanah Alone by
being constant in one’s recitation of the 113th and the 114th
Surahs of the Holy Quran. It is expected
that the Merciful Lord would protect him from all evil.
If one does any of the self-invented and useless rituals
like revolving money around one’s head seven times, or burn something, or
revolve something, or burn chilies, or perform any other rite or ritual in
their effort to ward off the effects of the ‘evil-eye’, then they would be held
guilty in the Court of Allah Subhanah for following an innovation (bida) in the
least, or following a rite of the pagans and committing an act of ‘shirk’ at it
worst!
If one fears the evil effects of the ‘evil-eyes’, all one
is guided to do is recite the ‘Muawidaat’ (113th Surah Al-Falaq and
the 114th Surah An-Naas), for the seeking of protection in Allah
Subhanah is more than sufficient to ward off any and all evil.
If one trusts, obeys, and follows the guidance and
commands of Allah and His Messenger (saws),
one can be assured of never ever being misled; but if one believes, obeys and follows any
other guidance, other than that of Allah and His Messenger (saws), one can be
assured of being led astray.
Whatever written of Truth and benefit is only
due to Allah’s Assistance and Guidance, and whatever of error is of me
alone. Allah Alone Knows Best and He is
the Only Source of Strength.
