Treatment After Being Afflicted by the Evil Eye:
1. When it becomes known who has cast the evil eye, or when one becomes certain that a particular person has afflicted someone with the evil eye, then that person should be asked to perform wudu. Then the water flowing from his limbs while he performs wudu should be collected and poured over the patient. And this water should also be given to the patient to drink.
Insha Allah, by doing this, cure will be obtained.
It is narrated from Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her:
The one who cast the evil eye was commanded to perform wudu. Then the one who had been afflicted with the evil eye was bathed with that water.
❀ We have tested that washing the face, rinsing the mouth and washing the hands is sufficient to remove the harm of the evil eye.
❀ The one who cast the evil eye will be told to bathe for the person afflicted by his eye. A vessel of water is brought. He puts his palms into it and rinses his mouth, then pours this rinsing water back into the same vessel. Then he washes his face with this same water. Then, pouring water with his left hand, he washes his right foot in the same vessel, and then with his right hand he washes his left foot in the same way. Then he washes his waist-wrap. Then this water is poured over the head of the person who has been afflicted by the evil eye. All the water should be poured over the back of the person in one go.
Insha Allah, there will be healing through this. The blessed hadith of the Messenger of Allah ﷺ is: When you are asked to bathe, then bathe.
2. If the one who cast the evil eye, or the one afflicted by it, refuses to perform wudu or to bathe, there is no cause for concern. Some item that has touched the body of the one who cast the evil eye, such as his cap, shirt or trousers, etc., may be taken, water poured over it, and then this water poured over the patient or given to him to drink. This is a very proven and tested remedy.
If all the items that have been in contact with the body of the one who cast the evil eye are washed, and his sweat and saliva are also collected, or the vessel in which he ate and drank is washed, and the date pit or similar that he sucked and discarded is also washed, and then all this water is poured over the patient, or some of this water is given to the afflicted patient to drink, then, Insha Allah, this will prove to be one of the most important causes of healing from this illness.
Important note:
Cleaning the doors and staircases of homes and mosques by the patient in order to be cured of such illnesses is baseless; it has no foundation. Likewise, taking up the excrement of the one who cast the evil eye, or soil from the place where his foot has stepped, has no basis.
3. When it cannot be determined who has cast the evil eye, then in such a case the afflicted person should turn to Allah’s court and seek treatment by reciting Dam with the legitimate supplications. There is also healing in this, by Allah’s command.
Aisha, may Allah be pleased with her, says:
The Messenger of Allah ﷺ instructed me to perform Ruqyah for the removal of the evil eye.
Also, the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
Ruqyah is only for the evil eye or possession.
Once the Messenger of Allah ﷺ heard the sound of a child crying, and he said:
What has happened to this child that he is crying? Why did you not perform ruqyah for him against the evil eye?
4. Dam should be performed on the patient by reading abundantly Surah al-Ikhlas, Qul a’udhu bi Rabb al-Falaq, Qul a’udhu bi Rabb al-Nas, Surah al-Fatihah, Ayat al-Kursi, the last two verses of Surah al-Baqarah, and the prescribed supplications. While performing Dam, the right hand should be passed over the place of pain.
5. Olive oil and water should be recited over with these supplications. The water should be given to the patient to drink and also used to bathe him. The oil should be used as a condiment and also for massage. If Zamzam water or rainwater is available for Dam, it is very good.
6. There is no harm in writing Ayat al-Kursi, Surah al-Fatihah, the last verses of Surah al-Baqarah, al-Mu’awwidhatayn, Surah al-Ikhlas and some other verses on paper, washing it off, and then giving this water to the patient to drink, as has already been mentioned in the treatment of sorcery.
7. Beware! While performing Dam, one should neither visualize the person who cast the evil eye, nor, if the one performing Dam says so, should the name of that person be mentioned. Doing so is a satanic act, which is not permissible in any way.
