91. Ruling on Jinn possession
Q: Is it permitted for the righteous Jinn (creatures created from fire) to possess human Muslims? Please provide evidence. Keeping in mind that the righteous Jinn do not harm humans; rather, they possess human to listen to the Dhikr (Remembrance of Allah) and the Qur`an. Some righteous Jinn recite Qur`an using the possessed persons tongue and voice in order to release the rebellious Jinn from the body of the possessed. May Allah reward you with the best!
A: There is no doubt that it is not permissible for Jinn to possess, attack, or harm humans. One of the greatest forms of Zhulm (injustice) and harm is the Jinn possession of human beings as this may lead to ruining the person's mind and makes them fall under the category of mad people. This may also result in many other evil and harm. Allah (Exalted be He) says: "And whoever among you does wrong (i.e. sets up rivals to Allah), We shall make him taste a great torment." And: "And the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers) will have neither a Wall (protector or guardian) nor a helper." And: "And We have prepared a painful torment for the Zalimun (polytheists and wrong-doers)." It is not permitted for Jinn to harm a Muslim human, likewise, it is not permitted for a human to harm or hurt the Jinn, each of them should be careful of wronging the other. It is known that the Jinn possession causes a great deal of harm and great evil to the person; a Muslim or a Kafir (non-Muslim). Thus, it is not permitted for a Jinni to possess, hurt, or harm humans. It is known how people keep away from the possessed person and the harmful consequences this can have on him. It is Wajib (obligatory) on the Jinn to avoid wronging humans and they should keep away from them. If they want to listen to Qur`an, they can attend learning circles and Qur`an lessons without possessing a human. They can hear the Qur`an and Hadith by attending these lessons at the Masjids (mosques) and other places. As for the Jinn's excuse that they like to hear the Qur`an from a certain human, this is wrong. Allah is the One sought for help! Humans should seek refuge in Allah (Exalted be He) by using the treatment found in the Shariah (Islamic law) which will protect them from the Jinn such as reciting Ayat-ul-Kursy (the Qur`anic Verse of the Throne, Surah Al-Baqarah, 2:255) one time, Surah (Qur`anic chapter) Al-Ikhlas and Al-Mu'awwidhatayn (Surahs Al-Falaq and Al-Nas) three times before sleeping and saying "A'udhu bi kalimatillah al-tammat min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created)," every morning and evening. The Prophet (ﷺ) said: 'Anyone who enters a house and says: "A'udhu bi kalimatillah al-tammat min sharri ma khalaq (I seek refuge in the Perfect Words of Allah from the evil of what He has created)," nothing will harm them until they leave that house.' He (ﷺ) also said: "Anyone who says this three time at the evening will not be harmed by the bite of a serpent during that night." These are ways to protect oneself. Also, saying: "Bismillahi alladhi la yadurru ma'a ismihi shai'un fil-ardi wa-la fil-sama'i wa huwa al-Samiu al-Alim (In the Name of Allah, with Whose Name nothing on the earth or in the heaven can cause harm, and He is the All-Hearing, the All-Knowing). The Prophet (ﷺ) said: "Anyone who recites this three times in the morning and in the evening, nothing will harm him." Also saying: "A`udhu bi-kalimatillah al-tammah men kulli shaitanin wa hammah wa men kulli 'aynin lammah (I seek refuge with Allah's Perfect Words from everything that is evil, vermin, and from every evil eye)" The Prophet (ﷺ) used to use these words to protect Al-Hasan and Al-Husayn every night. These words from the Shariah are what Allah (Exalted be He) protects a person with from the harm of the jin sin and other evils. Also to say: "A`udhu bikalimatillahi at- Tammati allati la yujawizuhunna barrun wal-fajir men sharri ma khalak wa bara'a wa dhara'a, we men sharri ma yanzili minal-sama'i, wa men sharri ma ya Yiju fiha, wa men sharri ma yanzilu fil-ard, wa men sharri ma yakhruju minha, wa men sharri fltan al-laili wal-nahari, wa men sharri kulli tariqin ilia tariqan yatruqu bi-khairin ya rahman (I seek refuge with Allah's Perfect Words which no righteous or unrighteous person can transgress; from all the evil that He has created, made and originated; from the evil that descends from the sky and the evil that rises up to it; from the evil that is spread on the earth and the evil that springs from it; and I seek refuge from the evil of the trials of the night and the day, and from the evil of one who visits at night except the one who bring good, O You Most Merciful)."
