Summary
Pouring wudu water or the bathing water of the person who caused the evil eye onto a car is permitted as a treatment for the evil eye, according to the fatwa of Sheikh Abdullah al-Jibrin. The evil eye can affect animals, buildings, trees and vehicles, and the treatment works by Allah's permission.
