Is the possession of a human by a jinn established?

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Umm Khalid has a set of questions. She says: Shaykh Salih, is there evidence for reciting Surat al-Baqarah in its entirety over a person afflicted by the jinn? And is the possession of a human by a jinn actually true?

Answer:
The possession of humans by jinn is true. Therefore, the human is confused and behaves in ways that are not customary for sane and sound people. This is an established matter. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, says:
Those who consume interest cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanityالَّذِينَ يَأْكُلُونَ الرِّبَا لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ
[Al-Baqarah 2:275]
. Thus, He, Exalted is He, affirmed that Satan mixes with the human and touches him, as well as the other devils and jinn. We ask Allah for well-being. So the human should adhere to the prescribed supplications and seek refuge in Allah from the devils, the jinn, and the wicked of creation. Allah, Mighty and Majestic, protects the one who seeks His protection and turns to Him, Exalted and Glorified is He. Yes.
