What is the ruling on reciting the Qur'an over a person afflicted with jinn using specific verses, when there is no explicit text regarding this? Is this permissible?
Machine translationRead the Arabic original
The questioner : In this matter, where does experience stand in the Shari'ah? For example, when Musa (peace be upon him) said to the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him), "I have known the people and tested the Children of Israel, so return to your Lord," are we to rely on experience?
The Shaykh : I want to understand what lies behind the veil.
The questioner : Behind the veil, for example, I recite specific verses for which there is no explicit text, and I find that the jinn is cast down, or comes out, or the patient is cured. Is this of that nature?
The Shaykh : Ah, if I were to be explicit, I would say yes, it is permissible, as long as you do not go beyond the Noble Qur'an. But come on, extend your hand!
The questioner : Where do I extend my hand?
The Shaykh : I know! Where are you? You know.
The questioner : No, we do not extend it!
The Shaykh : And also, if you strike, where do you strike?!
The questioner : We do not strike the 'awrah, but the back!
The Shaykh : What?
The questioner : The back and the chest!
The Shaykh : Are the back and the chest not 'awrah?!
The questioner : Our Shaykh, we do not strike women.
The Shaykh : How?
The questioner : Women You know what I mean.
The Shaykh : I do not know, but you did not show mercy to the tender ones at the beginning, but only at the end when you said, "I do not strike the 'awrah except the chest and the back..."
The questioner : A light strike, meaning between the shoulders or something like that...
The Shaykh : So.
The questioner : And I may strike with a sandal, or a stick, or something...
The Shaykh : Is there 'awrah or is there no 'awrah?
The questioner : There is 'awrah.
The Shaykh : Ah, so beware of her. This matter is serious, Professor.Bulugh al-Maram 16:32
The questioner : Okay, what do we do, our Shaykh?
The Shaykh : Fear Allah as much as you can. Stick to the recitation. Do you think if we said, "I recited and did not touch him," would the Qur'an alone not succeed? Do not say no.
The questioner : It succeeds.
The Shaykh : Ah. Then that is enough for you.
The questioner : But some jinn are stubborn and rebellious and need striking.
The Shaykh : No, you repeat the Qur'an. It suffices you of touching, feeling, and striking.
The questioner : If Allah wills.
The Shaykh : If Allah wills. And this is one of the benefits of your presence.
Another questioner : ... This is the first time we have heard you permit, or rather, that this matter is established.
The Shaykh : The earth has become inhabited!
Another questioner : Honestly, we would like you to expand on it more.
The Shaykh : But what I heard is not the established thing I heard just now.
The Shaykh : I want to understand what lies behind the veil.
The questioner : Behind the veil, for example, I recite specific verses for which there is no explicit text, and I find that the jinn is cast down, or comes out, or the patient is cured. Is this of that nature?
