Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
The questioner says: There are those who say that jinn do not possess humans, and that it is merely illusions and psychological illnesses. What is your opinion, Honorable Shaykh, of this statement? And is this man's belief correct?
Answer:
There are undoubtedly psychological and neurological illnesses, and there is also possession by jinn. So one does not deny possession by jinn. He says it is all neurological and psychological illnesses. Both exist. Possession by jinn is a reality and is well known. In the Qur'an,[Al-Baqarah 2:275] his striking [Al-Baqarah 2:275] The Qur'an mentions possession, and this man denies possession. So he is denying something from the Qur'an, and he is also denying a well-known reality.

الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ
