Signs of "Sihr"-Black Magic

There are certain signs and symptoms that show in a person who has been bewitched. Signs and symptoms will be individual to the person and may not necessarily be obvious. This can be the case especially if they are close to Allah (SWT). The effects of sihr may not take control of them in the same way or to the same extent it might do to someone who is not particularly mindful of Allah (SWT), therefore it will not be obvious to the untrained eye. The signs of sihr may be similar or identical to the signs of Ayn (Evil eye) or Hasad (Envy) and may even resemble the signs of a person possessed by a Jinn whether physically or mentally. The way to differentiate between the different afflictions is through Ruqya.
