The use of a healer’s wolf skin for the afflicted person to smell in order to determine if he is possessed by a jinn

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Q 5: The patient smelling the wolf skin, on the claim that it will reveal the presence or absence of a jinn , since the jinn—according to their claim—fears the wolf and is repelled by it, and becomes agitated upon sensing its presence.
A 5 : The use of a healer’s wolf skin for the afflicted person to smell in order to determine if he is possessed by a jinn is not permissible; because it is a type of sorcery and defective belief, it must be strictly prohibited, and their claim that the jinn fears the wolf is a baseless myth.
