Mehajer clarified that while these traditions, particularly items like charms (referred to as Tawiz), were historically associated with religious practices, they have now become commercial enterprises.

The market for these practices has expanded, potentially taking advantage of individuals who place faith in their efficacy, he stated.

Mehajer also highlighted the societal repercussions of these customs. He noted that they have contributed to discord within households, leading to conflicts and strains among couples (husband and wife). Additionally, he mentioned that some individuals attribute personal misfortunes or property damages to witchcraft or sorcery.[/vc_column_text][/vc_column][/vc_row]
