Magic is real, and its cure through extraction is beneficial. The jinn speaking through the afflicted person is also real and a fact. However, do not accuse a Muslim of practicing magic based on the jinn's words through the afflicted person, because the jinn is not truthful. Attributing magic to a Muslim requires an admission or clear evidence. Extracting magic is a good thing, and continuing ruqyah (exorcism) with the Quran and Sunnah is very beneficial.
