Denying the Possession of Humans by Jinn and Its Effect on Belief
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
A man does not acknowledge that Shaytan possesses humans, nor is he convinced of it. Does this cast doubt on his belief?
Answer:
He should be patient with what the jinn does and believe in it. This is a frivolous person, the one who says this is a frivolous person. The possession of humans by jinn is an observed and known matter, and the Qur'an points to it, such as the one whom Shaytan strikes with madness; madness, He called it madness. This is truly ignorance and being influenced by the words of philosophers and ignorant doctors. This is a mistake, a great mistake, and I fear that this person will be afflicted with madness and then believe it. Yes.

May Allah reward you,
