The entry of the jinn into the human body and its evidence

Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
This questioner says: Does the jinn enter into the human body? And what is the evidence for that?

Answer:
Yes. This question, what is the reason for it? Yes, the affliction by jinn is established. If Allah empowers them, they afflict the human being who is driven mad by Satan from the affliction. This is established by the text, by reality, and by experience. So the jinn exert their power over the humans.
O company of jinn, you have [misled] many of mankind.يَا مَعْشَرَ الْجِنِّ قَدِ اسْتَكْثَرْتُم مِّنَ الْإِنسِ
[Al-An'am 6:128]
. So the jinn exert their power over the humans. But they are repelled by the remembrance of Allah. And seeking refuge from the accursed Shaytan repels them. And if he does not repel them by the remembrance of Allah, they exert their power over him, yes.
