Being possessed by a jin

· 20 Rabiʻ I 1438 AH1 min readEnglish

Question

I have a question about jinn possession. Someone in my family is, I think possessed by a jinn. He has be showing the symptoms of jinn possession and I don't know what to do. I am his younger brother 16 years old and he is in his late 20s. He doesn't listen to dad and has arguments with him about Qur'an and Allah Ta'ala. Now he usually just stays in his room all day, sleeps, doesn't go to work, stares at things for periods at a time, and has bad mood swings. Please if there is any advice on what to do.

Answer

Read the Mu`awwizatain after every namaaz, and engage in Qur'aan recitation and ta`leem of Fazaa'il-e-A`maal and Fazaa'il-e-Sadaqaat.

And Allah Ta'ala (الله تعالى) knows best.
