Question:
What is the ruling on one who denies the possession of a human by a jinn?
Answer:
This person is ignorant and mistaken because he denied what he does not know. Allah the Exalted said, "Nay, they deny that of which they have no knowledge." A person follows the texts; whatever the texts indicate, he believes in it, even if his mind does not grasp it, because he does not know everything, and his mind cannot encompass everything. So he must follow the transmitted texts, even if he does not understand them or know what they indicate, because it may be something that only Allah knows, or part of the unseen, or a future matter that has not yet occurred. So a person should not rush to judgment, as Allah, Glorified and Exalted is He, said[Yunus 10:39] its interpretation. So it is obligatory for the Muslim to submit. If the evidence from Allah or from His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him) is authentic, there is no room for denial, delay, or questioning. This is the meaning of faith and the meaning of submission. Some people say, "I must be convinced."
We tell him that conviction comes through evidence. The one who is not convinced by the evidence is not a believer. So if the evidence reaches him, authentic and established from Allah or from His Messenger (peace and blessings be upon him), and he is not convinced by it, then he is not a believer. The criterion is the establishment of the evidence. If the evidence is established, the believer is convinced. Yes.
