Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. We have a residential building that has been left as a skeleton for several years. Some people told us to install electricity in it to light it up at night so that the jinn would be driven away. Is this action correct, and is this advice correct?
Answer:
Electricity does not drive the jinn away; they are pleased by electricity. But the remembrance of Allah the Exalted drives them away. Also, who put them in this building? You did not put them there. How do you know that there are jinn in it? This is fear, and a person should not have fear to this extent. Yes.
