Breaking Sihr Is Not That Difficult

The question came to Sheikh Wahid Abdussalam Bali from a weary husband. The answer is so simple that many people at first do not even want to believe it.
How the Question Comes
One brother brought a mu'alij to his home. After examining her, he said: your wife has an old sihr (magic) on her, and it is supposedly renewed every year; a knot is tied inside her stomach.
He advised: olive oil on an empty stomach, and water recited over with the Mu'awwidhat. The brother did exactly that, day after day.
But the stomach pain did not ease; instead it kept getting worse. A fear settled over the home: if it is renewed every year, where does it end?
This very question was put before Sheikh Bali. His answer came in two parts, and both are the opposite of what many people assume.
The Sheikh's Answer
Treating sihr is nothing difficult: four things. It does not require any mu'alij; it can be done sitting in your own home.
But before that, see a doctor, because the stomach illness may have no connection to sihr at all. Then those four: prayer on time, the morning and evening adhkar, reciting Ayat al-Kursi for half an hour, and listening to it for half an hour.
Evidence: Allah Himself Has Written the Outcome of Sihr
مَا جِئْتُم بِهِ ٱلسِّحْرُ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ سَيُبْطِلُهُۥٓ ۖ إِنَّ ٱللَّهَ لَا يُصْلِحُ عَمَلَ ٱلْمُفْسِدِينَ
And when they had thrown, Moses said, "What you have brought is [only] magic. Indeed, Allāh will expose its worthlessness. Indeed, Allāh does not amend the work of corrupters. (Surah Yunus 10:81 — Saheeh International; meaning of the complete verse)
The Prophet ﷺ said about Ayat al-Kursi: If you recite it at night, a guardian from Allah will remain with you until morning, and Shaytan will not be able to come near you. (Sahih Bukhari 2311)
What to Do
- If there are physical symptoms, see a doctor first — not everything is sihr.
- Pray the five daily prayers on time, including Fajr; and keep up the morning and evening adhkar.
- Every day, recite Ayat al-Kursi for at least half an hour and listen to it for half an hour.
- Continue for two to three weeks or a month, until the symptoms are completely gone.

What to Do Yourself When Struck by the Evil Eye
Here Shaykh Bali has set out two separate steps — one is treatment, the other is protection. It is by mixing these two up that people grow weary year after year.
Who is really taking the blows?
Shaykh Bali's answer is as much for the patient's family as it is for raqis — one should not resort to beating without need.
What the Shaykh Himself Gave Up
Shaykh Bali himself returned from three well-known practices of ruqyah — yet he did not blame those who do them. This is exactly where the etiquette lies.
