The entry of jinn into a human body is established by the Qur'an, the , and the consensus of the Ahl al-Sunnah wal-Jama'ah (Sunnis), as stated by Ibn Taymiyyah. He supported this with verses, hadiths, and real-life observations, such as the epileptic who speaks through their mouth and is struck without feeling it. As for the evil eye, it is the affliction of a person by the eye of another. The jinn may enter the body of the envied person without being summoned by the envier, because the envier resembles Iblis in his desire to corrupt people and eliminate Allah's blessings from them. The devil accompanies the envier and assists him.
