Evil Eye - Ruqya for our Kids and Us

Can't be bidah if there is no Islam involved. Taking paracetamol is not Bid'ah...

I think your confusion is coming from inability to distinguish between worship and (cure to) Illness. When someone has fever they (should recite) Al-Fatiha 7 times and drink Zamzam but it is also permitted to use contemporary medicine which is not Haram.

IF there are elements of Haram, they will need to be looked at in terms of scope and breadth of illness.

Magic or Jinn possession is a sickness. There are Sunnah recommended remedies (which are superior) but then just like any other sickness you can methods which are not Haram.

Medicine and methods of cure are always based on personal experience, for example a friend of mine finds smelly salts extremely effective in patients who have been affected by Jinns. I have seen this in action and I am not sure if the patient is being impacted due to the pungent odour or the Jinn is being affected, either way the patient definitely jolts back to consciousness.

In acts of worship, nothing but suggestive text is permissable.

• You get seven dried red chillies (not sure why) that still Have them stems on them.
  
• Start with a few salawat
  
• Recite fatiha seven times and blow on each chilly each time. You can prepare as many as you want.
  
• Then you pass the chilly over the entire body (or as much as possible) of the child. I think close to the body as possible.
  
• You then burn the chilly while the child watches.
  
• If it does not smoke then the evil eye is still active.
  
• You then do another one after a while.
  
• When it smokes then you know that the affliction has been removed. Once we had to do 3 before it worked.
