QUESTION ❓
Assalamu Alaikum wa Rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuh.
A woman asks:
“Please, I am seeking Islamic guidance concerning the supplications taught in the Sunnah for protection from sihr (magic) or the influence of jinn. A person constantly experiences disagreements with her husband, and it is difficult for them to spend even one week peacefully without arguing. The situation has become so serious that they are beginning to worry about their relationship, and the husband has started developing strong dislike towards her. May Allah guide us to what is right.”
ANSWER
❗️
Wa Alaikumussalam wa Rahmatullahi wa
Barakatuh.
May Allah bring peace, affection and
mercy between the couple and protect them from every form of harm.
The first thing to understand is
that frequent disagreement between a husband and wife should not
automatically be attributed to sihr (magic) or jinn. Marital conflict can
arise from many ordinary causes, including poor communication, financial
pressure, exhaustion, misunderstanding, unresolved disagreements, family
interference, personality differences, or accumulated resentment.
Islam does affirm the existence of
sihr and teaches Muslims to seek Allah's protection from it. However, there is
no sound basis for declaring that a particular marriage is affected by magic
simply because the spouses argue frequently or because one spouse begins to
dislike the other.
Therefore, the couple should combine
legitimate Islamic protection and supplication with practical efforts to
identify and resolve the causes of their disagreement.
1.
Seek Allah's Protection Through Legitimate Ruqyah
The Qur'an itself is a source of
healing. Allah says:
وَنُنَزِّلُ
مِنَ الْقُرْآنِ مَا هُوَ شِفَاءٌ وَرَحْمَةٌ لِّلْمُؤْمِنِينَ
Wa nunazzilu mina al-Qur'āni mā huwa
shifā'un wa raḥmatun lil-mu'minīn.
“And We send down of the Qur'an that
which is healing and mercy for the believers.”
— Qur'an 17:82
Among the established practices is
reciting Sūrat al-Fātiḥah as ruqyah. The Companions recited it over a
person who had been stung, and the Prophet ﷺ
approved what they had done.
— Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5736; Ṣaḥīḥ
Muslim 2201
Thus, a person may recite al-Fātiḥah
and other established Qur'anic passages while asking Allah alone for protection
and healing.
2.
Recite Āyat al-Kursī and the Last Three Sūrahs
Āyat al-Kursī (Qur'an 2:255) is
among the Qur'anic verses recommended for protection, particularly before
sleeping.
The Prophet ﷺ also used to recite Sūrat al-Ikhlāṣ, Sūrat al-Falaq and
Sūrat al-Nās, blow lightly into his hands and wipe them over his body
before sleeping.
— Ṣaḥīḥ al-Bukhārī 5017
These are authentic practices and do
not require a person to believe that he or she has definitely been affected by
magic.
3.
A Supplication for Protection
The Prophet ﷺ taught:
أَعُوذُ
بِكَلِمَاتِ اللَّهِ التَّامَّاتِ مِنْ شَرِّ مَا خَلَقَ
Aʿūdhu bi-kalimāti Allāhi al-tāmmāti
min sharri mā khalaq.
“I seek refuge in the perfect words
of Allah from the evil of what He has created.”
— Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 2709
This may be used as part of one's
regular supplications for protection.
4.
Recite Sūrat al-Baqarah in the Home
The Prophet ﷺ said:
إِنَّ
الشَّيْطَانَ يَنْفِرُ مِنَ الْبَيْتِ الَّذِي تُقْرَأُ فِيهِ سُورَةُ الْبَقَرَةِ
Inna al-shayṭāna yanfiru mina
al-bayti alladhī tuqra'u fīhi Sūrat al-Baqarah.
“Indeed, Satan flees from the house
in which Sūrat al-Baqarah is recited.”
— Ṣaḥīḥ Muslim 780
The family can therefore make Qur'an
recitation part of the life of the household.
5.
Avoid Fortune-Tellers, Magicians and Amulet Sellers
A person experiencing marital
difficulties should not go to fortune-tellers, soothsayers, magicians or people
who claim to identify hidden enemies or jinn through unexplained methods.
Likewise, Muslims should avoid
amulets and charms whose contents or methods are unknown or which are believed
to possess independent protective power.
Protection should be sought from Allah,
using the Qur'an and authentic supplications taught in Islam.
6.
Do Not Diagnose Sihr From Ordinary Marital Problems
This point is particularly
important.
A couple who frequently argue should
not conclude:
“Someone has bewitched us.”
Nor should they begin accusing
relatives, neighbours or other people of having performed magic without
evidence.
Doing so can create suspicion and
make an already difficult marriage even worse.
Instead, the couple should honestly
examine questions such as:
- What usually causes their arguments?
- Are there unresolved financial or family issues?
- Is there a problem with communication?
- Are there repeated accusations or misunderstandings?
- Is either spouse experiencing excessive stress or
emotional difficulties?
- Is there interference from relatives?
- Has either spouse behaved in a way that has damaged
trust?
Islamic ruqyah does not replace
these practical steps.
7.
Seek Reconciliation Through Trusted Mediators
When marital conflict becomes
serious, Allah gives specific guidance:
وَإِنْ
خِفْتُمْ شِقَاقَ بَيْنِهِمَا فَابْعَثُوا حَكَمًا مِنْ أَهْلِهِ وَحَكَمًا مِنْ
أَهْلِهَا ۚ إِنْ يُرِيدَا إِصْلَاحًا يُوَفِّقِ اللَّهُ بَيْنَهُمَا
Wa in khiftum shiqāqa baynihimā
fabʿathū ḥakaman min ahlihi wa ḥakaman min ahlihā, in yurīdā iṣlāḥan
yuwaffiqillāhu baynahumā.
“If you fear a breach between them,
appoint one mediator from his family and one mediator from her family. If they
both desire reconciliation, Allah will cause it between them.”
— Qur'an 4:35
This is particularly relevant when
the disagreements have become frequent and the relationship is deteriorating.
8.
Remember That Marriage Is Meant to Contain Affection and Mercy
Allah describes marriage as a
relationship in which spouses find tranquillity, affection and mercy:
وَمِنْ
آيَاتِهِ أَنْ خَلَقَ لَكُم مِّنْ أَنفُسِكُمْ أَزْوَاجًا لِّتَسْكُنُوا إِلَيْهَا
وَجَعَلَ بَيْنَكُم مَّوَدَّةً وَرَحْمَةً
Wa min āyātihi an khalaqa lakum min
anfusikum azwājan litaskunū ilayhā wa jaʿala baynakum mawaddatan wa raḥmah.
“And among His signs is that He
created for you spouses from among yourselves so that you may find tranquillity
in them; and He placed between you affection and mercy.”
— Qur'an 30:21
Therefore, both spouses should work
toward restoring respectful communication, forgiveness and mercy.
Conclusion
There is nothing wrong with seeking
Allah's protection through Qur'an, authentic ruqyah and established
supplications when a person fears sihr or other harm. However, constant
marital disagreement by itself is not proof of magic or jinn influence.
The couple should therefore combine
worship and supplication with practical reconciliation: identifying the causes
of their disagreements, avoiding suspicion and accusations, improving
communication, and involving trustworthy family mediators or qualified
counsellors when necessary.
May Allah remove whatever hardship
exists between them, restore affection and mercy, and protect them from every
form of evil.

knows best.
