Belief in the Jinn, witchcraft and the evil eye - Ruling on sick person visualizing the one who put the evil eye on him

How correct is it for a sick person to visualize the one who put the
eyeon him as a result of Qur'aan being recited over him, or the raaqi
asking his qareen (jinn companion) to show the sick person who put the
eye on him?
Praise be to Allaah.
For the sick person to visualize the one who put the eye on him as a
result of Qur'aan being recited over him, or the qaari' (reciter)
telling him to do so, is a devilishaction and is not permitted,
because it is seeking the help of the shayaateen (devils). The jinn is
the one who makes him visualize the person who afflicted him with the
evil eye, and this is haraam, because it is seeking the help of the
shayaateen, and because it creates enmity among people and causes fear
and terror to be spread among people. It comes under the aayah
(interpretation of the meaning):
"And verily, there were men among mankind who took shelter with the
males among the jinn, but they (jinn) increased them (mankind) in sin
and transgression"
[al-Jinn 72:6]
And Allaah knows best.
[Translator's note: Raaqimeans one who does ruqyah i.e., reciting
Qur'aan and du'aa's overthe sick for the purpose of seeking healing]
