Islam recognizes the existence and potential harm of the evil eye but advises against relying on physical amulets or charms, including the evil eye bead, for protection. Instead, believers are encouraged to seek protection through prayers, recitations from the Quran, and supplications. Using such amulets contradicts Islamic principles, as it attributes protection to objects rather than to Allah alone.
It is important for Muslims to rely on Shariah-approved methods such as ruqyah (Quranic treatment) and du’a (supplication) to protect themselves from the evil eye. Belief in the power of physical objects like the evil eye bead can lead to misunderstandings and actions that contradict the core teachings of Islam.
And Allah knows best.
