Can a person do jadoo to a photo of a person?
Question
I know that taking pictures is haraam. I had a copy of my passport photo and unfortuantely someone got a hold of it without my knowing and permission. Can a person perform jadoo or give bad eye to my picture? I have noticed that I have had facial problems that I have not encountered previously ever since I have not found my picture.
Answer
We advise you first refer to your physician and get medical treatment before making any conclusion of being affected with Jadoo.
and Allah Ta'ala Knows Best

Where scholars differ, it’s safer to take the more cautious view.
