Jinn and the Evil Eye
Question :
Can jinn harm human beings or vice versa? And what effect does the jealous person have over the envied person?
Answer:
Yes, jinn can harm man and vice versa, and yes, the envious eye can bring harm to its victim. This occurs and it is well known. But all of this happens by the universal will of Allah, not because of His legislative permission. Regarding the envious eye and its effects, it is confirmed that this happens. In an authentic narration, the Prophet ﷺ said:
"The eye is a reality; were there something that preceded the Decree, it would have been the eye."
And the Messenger of Allah ﷺ said:
"There is no Ruqya except for the eye or for the sting of a scorpion".
There are many Hadiths that further support this, and we ask Allah Almighty to protect us and to make us firm upon the truth.
