Safety: Medical first, alongside ruqyah — nothing on this page replaces a doctor's care.

In short

  • 011 kg ground sidr (lote-tree leaf)
  • 02Don't use it on broken or irritated skin — alum and salt sting; stop if the skin reacts.
  • 03Keep the mixture out of the eyes, and away from children unsupervised.

Sheikh Muhammad ibn Ibrahim al-Rumi described this seven-day bathing course, and experienced raqis report having tried it and found it greatly beneficial for the evil eye and other afflictions, by Allah's permission. It contains nothing but three plain, permissible ingredients — no shirk, nothing forbidden — which is exactly what keeps a remedy lawful.

What you need

  • 1 kg ground sidr (lote-tree leaf)
  • 1 kg ground alum
  • 1 kg salt

Mix the three together — 3 kg in total — and divide the mixture into seven equal parts (about 430 g each), one for each day.

How to use it

  1. Each day, take one part and mix it into 3–5 litres of plain water. (The source specifies ordinary water for this bath, not recited-over water.)
  2. Pour it over the whole body in stages, from the head down.
  3. Then wash with ordinary water.
  4. Do this on seven consecutive days, in the time between Asr and Maghrib, or after Isha.
  5. Give charity every day of the course, even something small.
  6. If needed, the course may be repeated a week after the first one ends.

Alongside the bath, keep to what always comes first: the daily Quran, the ruqyah verses, and the morning and evening adhkār — the bath is a helper, not the treatment itself.

What practitioners report

The source relates trying this course for the eye, sihr and mass with clear benefit. It further relates two cases of cancer — one breast, one stomach — among those treated, and even an Arabian horse struck by an eye that recovered by the fifth day. Keep the frame: these are a practitioner's reported experiences, related as they were told. Cancer is treated by oncologists; nothing on this page may ever delay or replace medical treatment. The bath can accompany a doctor's care — it cannot substitute for it. Du'ā, Quran and permitted remedies heal by Allah's permission; no method carries a guarantee.

Sensible cautions

  • Don't use it on broken or irritated skin — alum and salt sting; stop if the skin reacts.
  • Keep the mixture out of the eyes, and away from children unsupervised.
  • If you are under medical care for a skin condition, ask your doctor first.
