The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. This is a question from the Netherlands. A woman says she was afflicted with sorcery and cannot pray, because the jinn in her body prevents her from performing the prayer. She asks: What is your guidance in this matter?
The Shaykh:
Is this sorcery or jinn?
The questioner:
She combined them.
The Shaykh:
Sorcery is sorcery, and jinn is jinn. She should try to pray as much as she is able. If she is unable to, then when it is removed from her and she is able, she must make up what she owes. Yes.
