Question
There is this widespread concept of bandish in the subcontinent (India and Pakistan). If there is a loss in business or someone is unable to find a job, they say that someone has done bandish on your rizq with magic. Is this concept correct?
Answer
While sihr (magic) is an undeniable reality, people have been driven into paranoia with the 'bandish' idea. Deficiency in Imaan and the propagation of quacks, frauds and imposters cause people to hallucinate and attribute their misfortunes to sihr/ magic whilst in reality all their problems are the consequences of their flagrant sins and transgression. The 'bandish' idea should be banished. People should cultivate Taqwa and make Dua.
