Sum Of Our Discussion!

The remedy for protection against evil eyes is to rely on Allah. He is the One Who made everything in this world and knows what is best for you. That is why He has given you the heart to know whether or not someone wants to harm you. If they do, then they will be punished in their own time. But as long as you have done your best to avoid them, then that is what matters.

The question of whether or not someone has an evil eye depends on their state of mind, not on any physical sign that they have it. If you are afraid that someone might cast an evil eye upon you, then pray to Allah (SWT) and ask Him to protect you from any harm that may come from it. And if they do cast an evil eye upon you, then seek refuge in Allah (SWT), because His mercy never ends and His love never fails!
