the evil eye - Refuting the myth aboutundoing witchcraft

In a chat room about shar'i ruqyah I asked about a man whom we regard
as a seeker of knowledge about witchcraft, and he told us that it is
permissible to use an old pickaxe, byheating it and urinating on it!
They told me that one of the scholars of the earlier generation said
that that was permissible. What is youropinion on that? May Allaah
reward you with good for your service to Islam and the Muslims.
Praise be to Allaah.
With regard to what youhave mentioned about urinating on an old
pickaxe that has been heated with fire in orderto undo witchcraft,
this is a myth which it is not befitting for a monotheist to believe.
We have looked at the site which you referred to, and we saw the one
who told you that this action is permissible, buthe did not attribute
it to any scholar among the early generation, rather he attributed it
to Ibn al-Qayyim (may Allaah have mercy on him). We looked for a place
in which Ibn al-Qayyim stated that it was permissible, and we could
not find it. We do not think that it can be proven to be from him or
from any other early scholar; rather it is more likely to be an action
of the charlatans.
And Allaah knows best.
