## Longer summary

Mufti Abu Layth opens the evil eye discussion and plays a clip, partly drowned by music, of Shaykh Hassan Ali. In the clip the shaykh says the evil eye need not come from someone evil and can be given by those who love you, such as parents, grandparents or spouses. He relates that years ago his young son's tongue would stick when speaking after visits to his grandparents' house, and that instead of cutting off the visits he recited remedies that he says scholars before him had tried and tested.
