With the changes of Read,cash and the subsequent disappearance of a large part of my followers here, I have decided to let the series “Quizzes & Puzzles” come to an end. Consequently, there will be no new questions this time, only a presentation of the answers to Quizzes & Puzzles 66.

I want to thank everyone who actively participated in this series. You are too many to mention, but you know yourselves who you are.

Answer to Quiz 66:6

Belief in the evil eye is very old. It is documented from old Babylonia, and is still today common around the Mediterranean. How does Islam relate to this, does it accept or reject belief in the evil eye?
