The questioner:
May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh. This questioner says that some psychologists deny the entry of the jinn into humans.
The Shaykh:
Because they did not enter them; if they had entered them, they would have known.
The questioner:
Yes. He says that some psychologists deny the entry of the jinn, created from fire, into humans, created from water. Are these people as mentioned by Shaykh al-Islam Ibn Taymiyyah? And how is this?
The Shaykh:
He is capable of everything. He enters whoever He created from fire into whoever He created from water. This is philosophy; this is from the old philosophy. And this is a denial of reality and what exists. Allah (Exalted and Majestic is He) said:[Al-Baqarah 2:275] What is "al-mas"? What does "al-mas" mean?
It is the affliction of the jinn. The madman who gets up and throws himself around has an affliction from the jinn. This verse indicates that the jinn associates with the human and mixes with him, causing him to get up and throw himself around, overpowering him. This verse is clear in this matter. This, along with what came in the Sunnah regarding reciting over some of the madmen, and what is observed and a reality now in the world of people regarding the madmen—that they recite over them, and they speak, and they come out—this is a denial of the tangible.
But as I said, if the jinn entered them, they would know the truth of this matter. Yes.

cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity
لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّIt is the affliction of the jinn. The madman who gets up and throws himself around has an affliction from the jinn.
