The work examines destructive envy (al-hasad), benign envy (al-ghibta), the distinctions between them, the signs and mechanisms through which envy occurs, and the legal ruling regarding someone who causes death through the evil eye . It further covers the definition and legal legitimacy of spiritual incantations (al-ruqya), treatments for the afflicted, religious innovations practiced by certain healers (bida al-ruqat), and incantations for animals, alongside hadith authentication (takhrij) for the traditions examined in the text .
