What is the religious ruling on treating with the Quran and seeking out those who treat with it? Can jinn possess humans, or can they be expelled and influenced? Did anything of the sort occur during the time of the Messenger of Allah, may Allah bless him and grant him peace?
The fatwa touched upon touch and magic during the time of the Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him. The Prophet, peace and blessings be upon him, was indeed bewitched by Labid ibn al-A'sam, and Allah Almighty healed him. It also mentioned the Prophet's treatment of Uthman ibn Abi al-Aas for satanic whispers in his prayer by striking him on the chest and spitting into his mouth three times, saying: "Get out, enemy of Allah." Al-Albani authenticated this hadith.
