The ruling on one who suffers from convulsions upon hearing the Qur'an
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
Question:
We move on to the letter from the questioner M. 'A, who states and says: A man suffers from severe yawning and tears flow profusely from him when the Qur'an is recited to him or when he hears it, and he experiences dizziness and weakness. It is known that he suffers from severe convulsions during which his limbs tremble and he weeps intensely. So, in your view, Honorable Shaykh, is such a man afflicted with possession? Please inform us, may Allah reward you, and what do you advise for such a person? What
Answer:
he wants. This is undoubtedly a case of either a psychological illness and obsessions that intensify for him, accompanied by extreme fear, which is a psychological and imaginary illness. He should increase his remembrance of Allah the Exalted, have good opinion of Allah the Exalted, and have good hope in Allah, and this psychological illness will be removed from him.
It may also be possession by jinn. When he hears the Qur'an, the jinn becomes distressed because the sick jinn cannot bear to hear the Qur'an. In that case, the afflicted person becomes agitated and is harmed. This is a possibility, but Allah has not sent down a disease without sending down a cure for it: a cure for the soul from jinn, or a cure for the psychological illness, through the remembrance of Allah the Exalted, increasing the remembrance of Allah, and the Shari'ah ruqyah (healing by Qur'anic recitation). Yes.
