The Reality of Jinn Possession of Humans and Its Treatment
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, a questioner asks: What is the reality of a jinn possessing a human? And did this occur in the past, during the time of the Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Answer:
This is established and a reality. The evidence for it is the Book, the Sunnah, and the recurring reality observed among people. The meaning of *mas* (possession) is mixing; the jinn mixes with the human and confuses him or harms him. The Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) said:Sunan Abi Dawud 4719Sahih (Al-Albani) Allah, Mighty and Majestic, said: "like one whom Satan seizes with possession," [Al-Baqarah 2:275]. So *mas* is established. It is treated with *ruqyah* (healing by Qur'anic recitation) and the remembrance of Allah, Mighty and Majestic. This is how *mas* from jinn is treated. Yes.

ان الشيطان يجري من ابن ادم مجرى الدم.cannot stand [on the Day of Resurrection] except as one stands who is being beaten by Satan into insanity
لَا يَقُومُونَ إِلَّا كَمَا يَقُومُ الَّذِي يَتَخَبَّطُهُ الشَّيْطَانُ مِنَ الْمَسِّ
