Are psychological problems such as lack of self-confidence, guilt, and envy caused by jinn, and is ruqyah the solution, or is it an evasion of confronting psychological problems?
Source: FtawySummary from Ftawy's records · added here Sep 2, 2026
A Muslim must not attribute their psychological or intellectual problems to thein. Allah has set boundaries for the world of the jinn, and He has appointed guardian angels over His servants to protect them from evil. Everything that afflicts a person is only due to their sins and disobedience to Allah, and good and evil are predestined. Whoever desires a good life must embrace faith, righteous deeds, and piety. And whoever immerses themselves in disobedience to Allah has chosen misery for themselves. Therefore, one must mend what is between them and Allah Almighty, and Allah will mend all their affairs for them.
