The ruling on one who denies the possession of a human by a jinn
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: What is the ruling on one who denies the possession of a human by a jinn, and describes those who recite over these patients as Dajjals?
Answer:
As for denying the jinn, this is disbelief if one denies the jinn and says there are no jinn. This is disbelief, because it is a denial of Allah, His Messenger, and the consensus of the Muslims regarding the existence of the world of jinn, and that they are a creation of Allah the Exalted. Even though we do not see them, we do not see everything; there are things we do not see often, yet they exist. But if he acknowledges the existence of the jinn but denies their possession of humans, this is the statement of the Mu'tazilah. The Hanafis also deny the possession of humans by jinn. This is an error, without doubt, but it is not disbelief. It is an error and misguidance, but it does not reach the level of disbelief. Yes.

May Allah reward you, Honorable Shaykh,
