Can sihr (magic, witchcraft) have an affect on the marital relationship?
The saahir (person who practises sihr) does things by which he affects
people with sihr. Sometimes this is by illusion or making thingsappear
to be something else, as Allaah said concerning the sorcerersof
Pharaoh (interpretation of the meaning):
"and their sticks, by theirmagic, appeared to him as though they moved
fast" [Ta-Ha 20:66]
They do actions that change how things look in people's eyes, so that
they see things other than they really are, as Allaah says in Soorat
al-A'raaf (interpretation of the meaning):
"So when they threw, they bewitched the eyes of the people, and
struckterror into them, and they displayed a great magic" [al-A'raaf
7:116]
So they do things to bewitch people's eyes, so that they see a rope as
a snake or a stick as a moving snake, when it isnot a snake at all but
only a stick or a rope.
They may also bewitch people in other ways, so that a man becomes
hateful to his wife, or vice versa. They may do this by bewitching
their eyes, or by giving them evil potions which they get from the
shayaateen,or by tying knots on which they blow and pray to the
shayaateen instead of to Allaah, and seek their help in harming
people. So a man may imagine that his wife is not the wife he knows,
and she may appear ugly or hateful tohim, or a wife may imagine that
her husband is not the husband that she knows,and she sees him as
something ugly and terrifying, because of what these criminals have
done. So their sihr may be of two types, one of which involves
illusions and tricking theeyes, so that they do not see things as they
really are.
The other kind includes that which is called al-sarf and al-'atf
(spells aimed at creating hatredor love), which is done by tying knots
and blowing on them, and using potions which they make by
inspirationof the shayaateen. This second kind may make aman love or
hate his wife, or a woman love or hate her husband. It may also affect
a person's relationship with people other than his or her spouse.
Hence Allaah has commanded us to seek refuge with Him from the evil of
those who blow onto knots, and to seek refuge with Him from every
evil.
