Is it possible to have intercourse with a person of the opposite sex through imagination and the meeting of souls, or is that a demonic touch that creates such an illusion?

The scholars have stated that it is forbidden for a person to imagine himself engaging in sexual intercourse with someone unlawful to him, and to persist in such thoughts. The prohibition becomes more severe if the other party also entertains such thoughts. If a person continues to dwell on such thoughts until semen is discharged, then (ritual bath) becomes obligatory upon him. As for the connection of their souls or the touch of jinn, we have no definitive proof regarding that.
