Method of Curing Nazar (Evil Eye)

Answered as per Hanafi Fiqh by ShariahBoard.org
Is there such a thing as Nazar (evil eye)? An ‘Islamic saint’ has described the following (chili) method of curing anybody from ‘Nazar’:
1. Have the person who may have Nazar sit in front of you.
2. Get 7 dried Red Chilies.
3. Hold these in the palm of your right hand and close the hand (Keep hand closed throughout the following recitations).
4. Read 4 times Durood-e-Ibrahim
5. Read 1 time Surah Fatiha
6. Read 3 times Surah Ikhlaas
7. Read 4 times Surah Naas
8. Read 4 times Durood-e-Ibrahim
9. Swing with right hand 7 times clockwise from head to toe of the person.
10. Burn the 7 chilies totally. This is supposed to cure any person, specially kids who get affected with Nazar. And if the person was infact suffering from an evil eye, the chilies when burning, will miraculously NOT cause any “chili smoke” which normally causes lot of coughing. Is this an acceptable procedure, or, negate the Shariah in any way?
This method is not established in the shariah, however it’s not against it either. Hence one shouldn’t believe that this is in compliance with shariah because shariah says nothing. These are experiences of people regarding medicinal treatment and there are many experimentally learnt things and it’s likely that this could be one of them, so, there wouldn’t be anything wrong with that. The safety is in not thinking that such a thning is from shariah.
