Supplicating for blessing is permissible for whoever fears that they might afflict something with their eye. It is Allah who grants blessing, and it is an increase in goodness. The legal texts indicate the permissibility of supplicating for blessing and seeking it from Allah Almighty, among which is the saying: "O Allah, bless Muhammad and the family of Muhammad." However, seeking blessings from a specific object and seeking an increase in goodness by rubbing oneself against it is forbidden.
