Keeping a wolf in the house to treat sorcery and possession
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner asks: Is it permissible to keep a wolf in the house for the purpose of treating someone afflicted with sorcery or possession, on the grounds that it drives away the jinn?
Answer:
These are superstitions and are not permissible. It is not permissible to keep a wolf, neither in the house nor elsewhere, because it is a predator, so keeping it is not permissible. And if one claims that it drives away the jinn and that the jinn fear it, that is a defective belief. Yes.
