What is the validity of the claim that denies the possession of humans by jinn and that this ended with the death of the Messenger of Allah (peace and blessings be upon him)?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : One of the people is saying now that there are no jinn that take the form of something and harm a human being. This claim ended with the message, for example, meaning, for example, the hadith of Abu Hurayrah and the hadith of the puppy. When Abu ibn Ka'b was running and the jinn... and the hadith is authentic... its original source is in *Sahih al-Targhib wa al-Tarhib*. We can say to him this statement, but I say this statement ended with the message. I said, what is the evidence that it did not end? Excuse me, I said to him, why did it end? Meaning, why would it not have ended? He says this was not the case. I think because I have a statement, because it is not for your servants...
The Shaykh : It is not for you.
The questioner[Al-Isra 17:65]. So what is your opinion of this statement?
The Shaykh : Well, this verse has no relation to physical and divine dominance. This is spiritual and moral dominance.[Al-Hijr 15:42]. This is dominance through guidance and dominance through misguidance; so he does not dominate the guided with his misguidance, but he dominates the misguided, the open sinners with his misguidance. It has no relation to this matter, which is physical harm. This is from one aspect, and from another aspect, the dhikr and the recitations that are prescribed until the Day of Judgment.
The questioner : Why are they prescribed?
The Shaykh : This is a denial of them from the perspective of that view.
The questioner : Meaning, it is possible that there is physical affliction from Shaytan to humans.
The Shaykh : Of course.
The questioner : Even for the believers.
The Shaykh : Of course, and as he (peace be upon him) said:. So it is possible that a person is tested by a Shaytan from the jinn dominating him in his body, so he is patient with that and is rewarded and given reward.
The questioner : To complete what was mentioned after your permission, he says: What proves to me that the one who possessed so-and-so was a jinn? What proves it to me? It could be an illusion, it could be imagination, and it could be...
The Shaykh : This is possible and correct, but when the physical medical treatments are applied and they do not succeed, and on the contrary, the Prophetic spiritual medical treatment succeeds, this is what indicates that it is of the other type. Yes.
Al-Halabi : It is possible, yes, and it is possible, no, likewise.
The Shaykh: Correct.
The Shaykh : It is not for you.
The questioner
Indeed, over My [believing] servants there is for you no authority. And sufficient is your Lord as Disposer of affairs.
عبادي ليس لك عليهم سلطان وكفى بالله وكيلاThe Shaykh : Well, this verse has no relation to physical and divine dominance. This is spiritual and moral dominance.
except those who follow you of the deviators.
إلا من اتبعك من الغاوينThe questioner : Why are they prescribed?
The Shaykh : This is a denial of them from the perspective of that view.
The questioner : Meaning, it is possible that there is physical affliction from Shaytan to humans.
The Shaykh : Of course.
The questioner : Even for the believers.
The Shaykh : Of course, and as he (peace be upon him) said:
We, the prophets, are the most severely tested, the most excellent being the most tested.
نحن معاشر الأنبياء أشد ابتلاء الأمثل فالأمثلThe questioner : To complete what was mentioned after your permission, he says: What proves to me that the one who possessed so-and-so was a jinn? What proves it to me? It could be an illusion, it could be imagination, and it could be...
The Shaykh : This is possible and correct, but when the physical medical treatments are applied and they do not succeed, and on the contrary, the Prophetic spiritual medical treatment succeeds, this is what indicates that it is of the other type. Yes.
Al-Halabi : It is possible, yes, and it is possible, no, likewise.
The Shaykh: Correct.
