How To Correctly Avoid Evil Eye.!!

All praises & thanks are be to ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى). The Lord of the Aa'lameen.

As'Salaamu Alaikum Warahmatullaahi Wabarakaatuh,

My respected brothers & sisters fiddeen;

Say “Barak Allaahu ‘Alayk” (بارك الله لك أو عليك) which means “May Allah’s blessing be upon you” to avoid evil eye, not “Maa Shaa’ Allah” (ما شاء الله) which means “What ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) wills.”

Evidence:

Once a man praised another man for having very beautiful skin and claimed he had never even seen a virgin with such beautiful skin.

The man became ill on the spot, and upon hearing about this, the Prophet ‎صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ asked:

“Why did you not say, May ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) bless you?”
[Muwatta of Imam Malik (No. 1972, 1973) and it is Sahih]

Evidence No. 2:

The Prophet ‎صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ said:

When one of you sees in a person something which amazes him, then let him supplicate (to ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى)) to bless him.”
[Jami’ Mu‘mar (No. 19766) and it is Sahih]

Evidence against Maa Shaa’ Allah:

The Prophet ‎صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ is reported to have said:

“Whoever sees something that amazes him, let him say: “Maa shaa’ Allah, Laa Quwwata illaa billaah” Hence, by doing so that person won’t be affected by the evil eye.”

[Ibn Sunni in "Amal yaum wal-lail" (207) and Shaikh Albaanee graded its chain as "Dha'eef Jiddan" (extremely weak) in Takhreej al-Kalim al-Tayyib]

If you think you have given someone evil eye, say “Allaahumma baarik ‘alaih” (اللهم بارك عليه) which means "O' ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) send your blessings upon him."
[Paraphrase of Ibn al-Qayyim’s Zaad al-Ma'aad (v. 4, p. 157-158)]

And ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) knows best.

May ALLAH (سبحانه وتعالى) make things easy to understand His sahih deen & sahih sunnah ‎صَلَّى اللَّهُ عَلَيْهِ وَسَلَّمَ & may He keep us among with guided ummah.
Allah Humma Aameen.

Da'wah ALLAH (سُبْحَانَهُ وَتَعَالَى)

The scholars of the Standing Committee were asked:

What is the definition of the evil eye? Allah says (interpretation of the meaning):
“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.” [113:5]

Is the hadeeth (narration) of the Prophet (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him) saheeh (authentic) in which it says that “One third of those who are in the grave are there because of the evil eye”? If a person thinks that someone is envying him, what should the Muslim do and say? If the person who put the evil eye on someone washes himself, will the water he used bring healing to his victim? And should he drink the water or wash himself with it?

They replied:

The Arabic word al-‘ayn (translated as the evil eye) refers to when a person harms another with his eye. It starts when the person likes a thing, then his evil feelings affect it, by means of his repeated looking at the object of his jealousy. Allah commanded His prophet, Muhammad (peace and blessings of Allah be upon him), to seek refuge with Him from the envier, as He said (interpretation of the meaning):

“And from the evil of the envier when he envies.” [113:5]

Everyone who puts the evil eye on another is envious, but not every envier puts the evil eye on another. The word hasid (envier) is more general in meaning than the word ‘ain (one who puts the evil eye on another), so seeking refuge with Allah from the one who envies includes seeking refuge with Him from the one who puts the evil eye on another. The evil eye is like an arrow which comes from the soul of the one who envies and the one who puts the evil eye on another towards the one who is envied and on whom the evil eye is put; sometimes it hits him and sometimes it misses. If the target is exposed and unprotected, it will affect him, but if the target is cautious and armed, the arrow will have no effect and may even come back on the one who launched it.
