The Claim That the Jinn Fear Wolves
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
He says: Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success, there are many incidents that prove that the jinn fear wolves and flee from them.
Answer:
This is a superstition. It is a superstition that the jinn fear wolves and that they bring a wolf to the one who is being treated with ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation), or use the skin of a wolf. All of this is among the superstitions, done in order to consume people's wealth unjustly, and there is no basis for it. Nothing drives the jinn away except dhikr (the remembrance of Allah), the remembrance of Allah, and the recitation of the Qur'an. This is what drives the jinn away.
But these people do not have the capability in terms of taqwa (mindfulness of Allah) or in terms of religion. They bring the wolf because they seek help from the wolf, for they themselves do not have taqwa, nor do they have a sound 'aqidah (creed) in the Qur'an, or they do not know the Qur'an at all. They just want money, so they deceive people in these matters. They bring the wolf or the skin of the wolf. Yes.
