Question:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says: Is it permissible for one who performs ruqyah on a person afflicted by possession to strike the jinn to make it come out, whether after the ruqyah or during it?
Answer:
If it is confirmed that he is possessed by jinn and they do not come out, then he may strike him, but this must be done by a skilled person who knows the conditions of the jinn and the conditions of the possessed. It is not the case that everyone should take a stick and strike the poor man. Perhaps there are no jinn in him; perhaps there are no sick jinn in him. Not every sick person has jinn in him. You bring him pieces of wood and strike him, yes.
