Effect of evil eye

· 2 Rabiʻ I 1447 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

Can evil eye from envy and such cause affects to someone’s physical appearance or lifestyle? If someone gives you evil eye can it do stuff like ruin skin and change the way you look?

Answer

The hadeeth says that the evil eye can affect you. But it can only affect you by the will of Allah Ta`ala. If Allah Ta`ala does not will so, it will not affect you.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
