The questioner:
The Shaykh: This questioner is asking on behalf of someone else.
The Shaykh:
Allah knows best. It appears the time has ended.
The questioner:
Five minutes left, five minutes left.
The Shaykh:
Let us proceed to our statement.
The questioner:
This questioner says: A group of people has appeared in this time who do not believe in the effect of, or the human being being affected by, the jinn,
The Shaykh:
Gone.
The questioner:
A group of people has appeared who do not believe in the human being being affected by the jinn. What is your honorable opinion on that?
The Shaykh:
Because they do not know this, and a person denies what he does not know. This is not evidence or proof. The possession of humans by jinn is something known from the Book and the Sunnah and from reality. Perhaps these people will be afflicted with madness and then they will know afterwards that it is a reality. As for a person denying what he does not know, this is not permissible. It is not permissible for a person to deny what he does not know; rather, he should at least suspend judgment. Above. Yes.
