The ruling on death during recitation over a possessed person
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner:
Honorable Shaykh, what happens when a person dies during recitation over a possessed person? Is it considered intentional if the reciter knows that continuing his recitation will lead to his death?
The Shaykh:
No, it is not considered intentional. This act is not suitable for killing; the length of the recitation is not suitable for killing, so it is not considered intentional. It may be considered quasi-intentional, but it is not intentional.
The presenter:
If Allah wills.
The Shaykh:
This questioner says so, you do that there.
