Treating a person who is affected with nazar through burning chillies

Q: What is the ruling on turning chillies or salt and then burning the chillies? I've seen some different opinions some saying that it is not permissible and some say it is permissible but they do not reference anything which makes me think its not permissible. Please explain.

A: If you are referring to treating a person who is affected with nazar through this method, then this is permissible as a treatment.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
