Is being afflicted by sorcery and jinn considered a punishment from Allah? Is it permissible for the raqi (exorcist) to converse with the jinn to inquire about the location of the sorcery and the perpetrator? Is ghusl (ritual bath) obligatory for a woman who has been intercoursed by jinn? What are the implications of this matter persisting? Is there a danger in approaching and attempting to help such cases?
It is not permissible for a male teacher to be alone with a female student. It cannot be definitively stated that illness is a punishment, but it is a means for expiation of sins. Ruqyah is permissible for someone afflicted by spiritual possession (mass) and magic (sihr), and there is no harm in thealer (raqi) speaking with jinn, but jinn may lie, so what they say should not be taken as definitive.
