Symptoms of Jinn Possession
Scholars differ in opinion concerning the possession of jinn. Some say that jinn may possess human beings and some say this is not true. In fact, this question will remain controversial. Those who do not believe in the jinn possession need to reasonably explain the symptoms that the said-possessed people suffer from. On the other hand, those who adopt the other opinion take the strange cases of the said-possessed people as concrete evidence of their view, exploiting the fact that people are psychologically prepared to believe that jinn can possess their bodies.
Al-Qurtubi’s Explanation of the Verse al-Qurtubi said, “This verse clearly refutes the opinion of those who deny the jinn’s capability of harming human
beings” (Al-Jami` Al-Kabir, vol. 3, p. 355).
Having stated the above, it becomes clear that we are commanded by the Prophet (peace and blessings be upon him) to seek medication for physical and psychological disorders.
It is our advice not to link psychological disorder such as depression, laziness, etc. with the possession of jinn or magic. This may lead a person to fall prey to sorcerers and magicians and thus one may corrupt his creed. Thus, in case one suffers from epilepsy or any psychological disorder like ones you mentioned in the question, he has to consult a specialist Muslim Doctor.
He can also have ruqyah asking Allah’s refuge against Satan and its whispers and to be constant in making dhikr and reading the Qur’an.
Active Possession: – This kind of possession is the most difficult to deal with and the most deadliest – you can describe it as death by a thousand cuts. A sorcerer will send evil jinns to harm you, as they have envied you or want to see you lose your livelihood, see your family destroyed, cause you mental health problems and so on.
