The ruling on the ruqah practitioners addressing the jinn during ruqyah
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
Honorable Shaykh, may Allah grant you success. The questioner says: Some of the ruqah practitioners, when they recite over the sick, address the jinn that are in them and say to them, "Come out," and they speak with them. What is the ruling on that?
Answer:
This is their independent legal reasoning. If the jinni obeys them and comes out, praise be to Allah. But this is talk that has no benefit. One should recite from the Book of Allah, blow on the patient, and make du'a for him. As for addressing the jinni or hitting the patient and saying that the blow falls on the jinni, that is not permissible. These are exaggerations.
